By BBC SPORTMore by this AuthorManchester City made a banned payment of £200,000 (Sh26 million) 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 (Sh8.6 million) in compensation to Watford. Sancho never made a first-team appearance for City before moving to German giants Dortmund for £8m in August 2017.
