Former Premier League star believes that Enzo Maresca made a mistake signing Jadon Sancho from Man Utd. Chelsea should have bought Jarrad Branthwaite instead. At the same time, he is quite young and already very promising. Many believe that he could be destined for greatness. As of now, the Everton star is still playing at the Goodison Park. But, many top clubs are keeping tabs on the young defender. In fact, the Red Devils were quite close to securing a move for him. But, they ended up signing Leny Yoro instead. Now, the 18-year-old is out injured. Meanwhile, the Everton man continues to impress.
Why should have Chelsea signed Jarrad Branthwaite?
As of now, the Blues are well stacked up front. But, they do have young unproven players at the back. Signing a young quality player like the Everton man would have fixed their problems for good. He could have been a great long term option for them. Especially, after the departure of Thiago Silva. As per metro, former PL star Pat Nevin had some interesting opinions. He went on to say that if he was at Chelsea, he would have ended up signing Jarrad Branthwaite instead of Jadon Sancho from Man Utd.
Did the Blues make a mistake signing Jadon Sancho?
The London side ended up signing the 24-year-old winger in the final few days of the transfer window. Since then, he has already gone on to put on a show for them. Sancho has already managed to provide 2 assists in 2 games. No Man Utd player has managed to do so as of now. At the same time, he has given some quality depth in attack for them. No doubt, Chelsea could have been quite a team with Jarrad Branthwaite. But, clearly, signing Sancho certainly wasn’t a mistake.
