Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham were both on the scoresheet for Borussia Dortmund in their DFB-Pokal Cup win on Monday evening.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the best of the young English talent playing in Europe.

Jadon Sancho

Jude Bellingham

The 17-year-old will be aiming to follow in the footsteps of Sancho after he joined him at Signal Iduna Park this summer from Birmingham. Bellingham is a star in the making, having also been linked to Manchester United, and it will be fascinating to see how he copes at one of the top clubs in Europe while still so young. He made a good start, scoring on his debut in the DFB-Pokal Cup on Monday evening.

Marcus Edwards

Edwards was tipped to be the next big thing at Tottenham, though was perhaps not helped by Mauricio Pochettino comparing him to a young Lionel Messi. It did not work out for the striker at Spurs and after a brief spell in Holland, Edwards is now plying his trade in Portugal at Vitoria Guimaraes. He scored nine goals in 31 appearances last season, including one against Arsenal in the Europa League, and still only 21 has the potential to make it big.

Stephy Mavididi

Mavididi is one to watch in Ligue 1 following his £5.5million move to Montpellier. Big things have been expected of the 22-year-old, who began his career at Arsenal and was transferred to Juventus in 2018. He did not make it in Turin, though, and after spending last season on loan at Dijon he has moved to France on a permanent basis.
