Jadon Sancho has made his way to the Stamford Bridge and has been impressive ever since. The English winger has been the top choice for the club’s management in all their games.
The 24-year-old joined Chelsea in the latest summer transfer window. Manchester United agreed to deal with the Blues for the youngster in the final hours of the transfer window. The winger was an important part of the German club Borussia Dortmund in the last Champions League campaign.
Sancho was one of the top players of the German club. He had a major contribution in helping the club reach the Champions League final. The English winger returned to Old Trafford after his impressive spell with Dortmund. There was tension brewing between the manager Erik Ten Hag and Sancho. This led to the 24-year-old being restricted to the bench.
Jadon rarely got to play for the Red Devils after his return from Dortmund. The player was mostly kept on the bench in Manchester United games like the FA Cup. Sancho would have added a lot to the team but Ten Hag kept him on the sidelines.
The start of the campaign for the Blues has been good for the English winger. The manager Enzo Maresca has shown confidence in his young players. Jadon Sancho has played under the Italian manager during their time at Manchester City.
Sancho has started in almost all the Premier League matches and other campaigns. Jadon has been involved in most of the goal-scoring opportunities this season. He has assisted Nicholas Jackson and Cole Palmer in scoring the most goals for the club this season.
Jadon criticised for his playing style
Chelsea’s recent signing Jadon Sancho has come under the spotlight for his conservative playing style. Several pundits and former players have said that Sancho’s position in the regular playing 11 could be at risk.
The Blues have had a good start to their 2024-2025 campaign under their new manager Enzo Maresca. They did face a speed bump in their recent draw against Nottingham Forest. Sancho started for the team but his performance was average as apparently ‘he was too easy to play against’.
Former Chelsea player Tony Cascarino has slammed Jadon Sancho for his playing style against Nottingham Forest. Talking to Times, the former Blues man said-
” There is no question Sancho is a good player. His touch on the ball is always sound. The problem is that he plays a conservative game”.
Cascarino has advised the winger to show more flair and do something different to maintain his position in the team. The Chelsea camp is full of players and Sancho has chances to lose his place. Jadon needs to add ‘something more’ to the team after his move from Old Trafford.
Jadon has been acquired by Chelsea from Manchester United on an initial loan. The fate of the winger depends on Sancho’s performance for the club. If Chelsea stays on top of the Premier League table they might consider taking in the winger permanently.
Sancho and others get time to shine during the international break
The international break is here and players for Marseca’s squad will be thin. Many players will be playing for their countries. A few of the squad members as Jadon Sancho will get their time to shine for the club.
The Cobham ground will be quiet for some ten days or so. The Blues will have to wait for their next Premier League fixture for some time. The second round of the international break has thinned the Chelsea squad.
Enzo Maresca has eyes on the remaining players at the Cobham ground. Jadon Sancho has stayed with the Chelsea camp because was not selected for the England national team. Many players have the opportunity to get their skills honed under the new manager. Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile, Ben Chilwell and Alex Diasasi have their chance to impress Maresca.
The international duty has led to many starting players for the club leaving to play for their countries. These remaining players will get more time to stretch their legs but they have to get ready for upcoming fixtures. Jadon Sancho and others will be seriously monitored for their progress.
