Jadon Sancho

I think when you're different you stand out more and I like when people stand out.

I really felt Dortmund was the right club for me. They spoke to me and said the right things I wanted to hear.

I didn't know how to socialise with other people. I went to Harefield and it was strange at first but then I realised I was only here for one thing and that was the football. That was one of the many things that kept me grounded and kept me going.

Not everyone is comfortable moving from home. If you're ready to play abroad and you believe in yourself, why not?

Street football means you don't fear no one because you have nothing to lose and you are just being yourself.

Me being so comfortable being abroad is due to the fact I've always been away from home.

A few people weren't sure when I first told them about Dortmund, but I felt this was the best journey for me. Just try it, you know? I like trying new things, so it didn't really faze me.

I think some fans are very passionate, they just say what they want to say but they just need to slow it down a bit. We're still only human. We're not what people think. We might be famous but we love the sport and just want to play football.

Everyone's said I exploded in 2018 and, honestly, that's how it feels. It's been the best year of my life.

Ronaldinho was a big influence on me, watching him on YouTube, he used to do things that other people didn't really used to do.

That always pushes me when I see Mbappe and Marcus Rashford doing well because I know they are probably looking at me and seeing what I'm doing and it's probably pushing them.

It was crazy how many clubs wanted me - it shows how well you're doing, but I always felt Dortmund was right for me.
