Borussia Dortmund sign Manchester City starlet Denzeil Boadu after youngster falls out of favour with the Citizens

Boadu will now proudly sport the number 30 shirt for Dortmund’s under-23 side. He officially completed the deal on 30 August.
Sancho turned down a whopping £30,000-a-week offer from Pep Guardiola to pursue first-team football abroad.
After falling out of favour at Manchester City, the f0rmer Arsenal ace will now face fresh challenges in the Bundesliga.
Despite an injury-hit campaign with the Citizens, Boadu quickly progressed through the ranks of the academy and asserted himself as one of the game’s most exciting young prospects.
The England international recently overcame a career threatening injury after fearing he would never walk again.
