Jadon Sancho stops training with Man City as he eyes move away with Arsenal closing in on 17-year-old starlet
Arsene Wenger closing in on teenage sensation as he refuses to train with his Etihad team-mates
MANCHESTER CITY starlet Jadon Sancho has stopped training with the Citizens in an attempt to secure a move away from the club.
The 17-year-old teen hotshot is on the verge of leaving the Etihad this summer.
Arsenal are preparing a swoop for the England youth starlet, and the Independent claim the attacker is refusing to turn up for work as he tries to leave the club.
Sancho can play in a variety of positions behind the front man.
City have been worrying about losing Sancho for months as they viewed the youngster as a key part of their future plans and offered him a mega deal to secure his future.
Sancho was offered terms of around £30,000-a-week to sign his first pro deal with Pep Guardiola’s outfit.
The ace rejected that deal out of sight and has no intention of committing his future to City.
And reports claim that he has already informed Guardiola’s side that he wants to leave the North West.

His main incentive to move on is not financial.
Sancho wants to join a team where he can see a clear route to the first-team, something he does not believe exists under Guardiola in the near future.
That has led to him decide not to turn up to training in an attempt to force a switch to the Gunners.
Neighbours Manchester United and Tottenham are also interested in Sancho.
But it appears that he has his heart set on a move to the Emirates.
However, he will not come cheaply.
Should Arsene Wenger manage to secure Sancho’s signature, the North London club will have to pay in the region of £4million for the Three Lions youth ace.
