The 19-year-old Borussia Dortmund star has been constantly linked with a move to the Premier League after his brilliant displays over the past two seasons at the Bundesliga club.

Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are among a number of clubs across Europe monitoring the England international‘s situation at the Signal Iduna Park.

And Terry, who won five Premier League titles and a Champions League at Stamford Bridge, believes Sancho “is one of the best young players in the world at the moment”.

"I think the young lads have shown their potential. We spoke at the start of the season about the likes of Tammy [Abraham] and Mason [Mount] coming into the squad and they've shown that they're capable of playing," he told Frank Khalid in a YouTube video.

"I think Sancho is probably one of the best young players in the world at the moment so he'd be a great addition to Chelsea's squad and obviously make us better as well.

"That, mixed with the likes of Cesar [Azpilicueta] and them kind of players, the experienced ones helping them along the way as well, giving them support along the way for Frank's first season to manage such a big club like Chelsea as well it has been fantastic for him.
