Erling Haaland has hinted he wants to continue playing alongside Jadon Sancho at Borussia Dortmund after the pair inspired another emphatic victory. The Norwegian striker joked that they 'have to keep it down a bit' after combining for goals against Union Berlin.
Haaland, who joined Dortmund in January for around £18m, has scored seven goals in three Bundesliga matches, while Sancho has contributed a goal and an assist in each of the last three games. The duo's form has propelled Dortmund into the title race, trailing Bayern Munich by three points.
However, both players are attracting interest from top European clubs. Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are among those keen on Sancho, while Haaland has a £63m buy-out clause in his contract. Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc admitted Sancho is unlikely to stay for five more years.
Sancho's contract runs until 2022, and his manager Lucien Favre praised his potential, though he noted the teenager still must keep working. Despite the speculation, Haaland and Sancho expressed their enjoyment of playing together, with Sancho saying he is happy Haaland joined.
