Borussia Dortmund have confirmed that they are working to bring back their former forward Jadon Sancho

Managing director for sport Lars Ricken told the Sport Bild weekly that the club is looking at a large number of players, evaluating them, and assessing whether they could improve the team.

"We're doing the same with Jadon," he said.

Sancho played at Dortmund from 2017 to 2021, when he was sold to Manchester United. He returned to Dortmund in 2024 for six months on a loan.

He's currently under contract with United but playing at Aston Villa on loan.

Ricken also denied reports that Dortmund are trying to sign Germany national team star Nick Woltemade on a loan from Newcastle.
