As a teenager, Jadon Sancho walked away from one of the biggest football clubs – and managers – on the planet. The world of football thought he was crazy.
But with hard work, natural talent and total self belief, Jadon is now at the top of one of the world’s toughest leagues and at the heart of England’s national team.
This is the incredible story of how a football-mad boy from London trusted his instincts and left his home country to make his dream come true.
This biography is one of the new titles in Ransom's Tales from the Pitch series. These books offer a fresh take on the familiar football biography format.
Each of these fast-moving reads focuses on one up-and-coming football superstar, players who are still to reach the summit of their career. From the young Portuguese talent João Felix, to Virgil van Dijk and Raheem Sterling, these biographies cover the full range of European football. The players are from all walks of life and have faced failure, injury and rejection, to ultimately make their dreams come true.
So meet the fresh young talent behind the iconic tackles and goals and find out what makes each of these players so special.
