Manchester City to talk with Jadon Sancho's representatives in bid to resolve conflict after US tour snub
- Jadon Sancho has not trained with Manchester City for over a month
- The 17-year-old winger is hoping to force a move away from the Etihad

- Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in signing the highly-rated youngster
Manchester City are set for discussions with Jadon Sancho's representatives on Wednesday in a bid to thrash out the youngster's future.
The 17-year-old has not trained at the City Football Academy for over a month after being left out of Pep Guardiola's travelling pre-season tour party of America in July.
That decision was made by Guardiola after a contract stand-off which saw Sancho reject professional terms worth around £30,000 because he failed to see a way into the first team.

Sancho, who is still staying away, has a season left to run on his scholarship contract and City sources stressed that the impasse is resolvable, citing Tosin Adarabioyo's situation earlier in the year.
And club chiefs are holding talks with Sancho's agent before the transfer window closes on Thursday.
They would be due a sizeable compensation fee should he move to a Premier League rival, with Arsenal and Chelsea interested.
There are further suitors across Europe, however, with Borussia Dortmund and Red Bull Leipzig knowing that they could land the winger for just £190,000. Barcelona made a tentative enquiry recently.
Tottenham asked for Sancho in a part-exchange during negotiations over Kyle Walker's move but have cooled their pursuit.
City paid £500,00 for him from Watford two years ago and he is one of three young stars, including Phil Foden and Brahim Diaz, that the club believe will have an impact in the future.
