Tottenham Hotspur head coach Thomas Frank has been presented with an opportunity to lure Jadon Sancho to Hotspur Way in the final stages of the summer transfer window after Premier League rivals Manchester United have remained desperate to get him off their books, according to TBR Football.
Spurs are scouring the market for reinforcements after their move for Eberechi Eze was hijacked by arch-rivals Arsenal last week, with the England international completing a £67.5million switch to the Emirates Stadium, and there is determination to secure additional creativity in the final third of the pitch.
Sancho Pushed in North Londoners' Direction
Jadon Sancho in action for Chelsea
Tottenham have been offered the chance to sign Sancho in a late deal, according to TBR Football, but last season's Europa League winners are working on landing alternative targets before potentially handing him a route out of his current surroundings as the September 1 deadline edges closer.
Manchester United are eager to offload the winger, who has entered the final 12 months of a contract which allows him to pocket up to £350,000-per-week when bonuses are triggered, and he has been pushed into Spurs' direction to see whether they would be interested in striking a deal.
Sancho is still on the market after rejecting a move to Serie A giants Roma earlier this month, but he is running out of time to embark on a fresh challenge and will not be given game time if he remains at Old Trafford as he has been frozen out by Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim since returning from a loan spell at Chelsea.
Although Tottenham spent big to land Mohammed Kudus, who rubber-stamped a £55million move from West Ham United last month, James Maddison's long-term injury has resulted in Danish tactician Frank being eager to make a last-minute attacking acquisition before the 7pm cut-off point on Monday.
Sancho was described as 'special' by Chelsea chief Enzo Maresca when he helped the west Londoners to UEFA Conference League glory during the 2024/25 campaign, but the Blues did not keep him at Stamford Bridge on a permanent basis and that has opened the door for the likes of Spurs.
GMS sources recently revealed that Manchester United are increasingly fearful that the 25-year-old will choose to run down his contract due to being on lucrative terms, leading to them toying with the idea of listening to loan offers as the closure of the summer transfer window approaches.
