The comparisons were always going to prove irresistible. With each goal or assist, Borussia Dortmund’s latest English youngster has become “the next Jadon Sancho.”
Nevermind that Jamie Bynoe-Gittens predominantly operates on the opposite wing. That the 18-year-old went from London to Manchester before making his senior breakthrough at Dortmund is enough.
And while Jude Bellingham, presumably in his final months wearing the yellow and black of the Bundesliga’s second-best team, will command most of the attention when Chelsea ’s humble billion-pound squad turns up at Westfalenstadion on Wednesday evening, they must also beware yet another player within their academy reach who ended up going elsewhere.
