Manchester United are leading the race to sign Dortmund wonderkid Jadon Sancho in the summer transfer window.
But it seems the England international has a small affiliation with Arsenal as he messages forward Reiss Nelson on WhatsApp every day.
"I've got love for him; he's got love for me," said Sancho, as reported by FourFourTwo magazine back in 2019. "We just keep on pushing each other."

Sancho isn't the only one who has been making full use of Instagram Live during the lockdown, with Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand releasing videos of himself from time to time.
