Jadon Sancho made his England debut against the United States in NovemberManchester City made a banned payment of £200,000 to Jadon Sancho's agent when the England winger was 14 years old, according to Der Spiegel. The German magazine claims City made the payment to Emeka Obasi when they signed Sancho, now at Borussia Dortmund, from Watford in March 2015. Football Association rules say young players cannot be represented by an agent until the year they turn 16. London-born Sancho, 18, joined City as a 14-year-old, when the Premier League champions paid £66,000 in compensation to Watford. Der Spiegel alleges City paid £200,000 to Obasi as part of a scouting contract to find players in central and South America.
