Liverpool would 'help Sancho's development' says expert
Liverpool are just one of several clubs looking to win the race for Jadon Sancho this summer. Borussia Dortmund are reportedly ready to do business should their £120million valuation be met and Signal Iduna Park chiefs are optimistic that they can spark a bidding war for the England international.
Manchester United appear to be frontrunners for Sancho, while Chelsea, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain also remain in the picture.
Sancho himself has previously expressed his desire to return to England, but also left the door open on a move to Spain.
Jurgen Klopp is a huge admirer of the Dortmund forward, but is unlikely to fork out the staggering £120m fee that is being quoted.
That's because for all of Sancho's quality, he would still not be a guaranteed starter upon his arrival due to the brilliance of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.

Klopp has a track record for improving wide players and always favours the 4-3-3 system, something that would benefit the 20-year-old.
But unless one of Mane or Salah moves on at the end of the season, it's unlikely that Michael Edwards will make his move for Sancho.
Timo Werner is firmly on the agenda though after firing in 21 Bundesliga goals this season.
He has a release clause of £50m which is due to expire at the end of April, meaning Liverpool will have to move fast.

Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann, who won the Champions League with the Reds in 2005, believes Liverpool are ready to make their move for Sancho.
"What I hear is that Liverpool have great interest," Hamann told Sky Germany.
"I would imagine that next summer they could become one of the biggest interested parties.
"He's from Manchester City and I do not know if he would come back again, and it's a thing for Manchester United, too, if they've ever been to the rivals.
"There are currently few players that could reinforce [Liverpool's] offensive [line-up].
"I don't know if Sancho's such a player, but maybe if there's one going away from those three, then Sancho would be predestined for this offensive alliance."
