The news comes after the winger failed to come to an agreement with Chelsea following his loan spell there last campaign.
The Blues had a £25m option-to-buy clause in his contract, one they intended to activate should they agree contractual terms with the former Borussia Dortmund playmaker, but failed to do so given Sancho’s wage demands.
Sancho netted five times in 41 appearances at Stamford Bridge last campaign.
