Tottenham are ready to shelve their pursuit of Manchester City teenager Jadon Sancho.

The 17-year-old has been looking to leave the Etihad, with a number of Premier League sides plus Borussia Dortmund and Red Bull Leipzig keen to take him.

Sancho, who joined City from Watford in 2015, was surprisingly left out of City's pre-season tour of the United States, while highly rated youngsters Phil Foden and Brahim Diaz were both included.

Tottenham will continue to monitor Man City teen Jadon Sancho but won't sign him this month

He was named Golden Player at the European Under 17 Championship this summer.

Though free to sign for another club, he would not be able to play for them before the end of his scholarship deal without City's permission - and that has one year left to run.

City would be due compensation should he leave with any fee likely set by a tribunal.

Tottenham discussed taking him as part of the Kyle Walker transfer and remain admirers of the teenage midfielder but will not pursue a deal this month.
