Since leaving Manchester United for Chelsea, ‘talented winger’ Jadon Sancho has been a regular name in the mouth of the nation. Would he meet expectations? This time, where we actually dive into the situation, what these consequences are, and what follows.
Former rising star Jadon Sancho struggled in his time at Manchester United, after three years at Borussia Dortmund. He made his move to Chelsea last summer on a season-long loan with the Blues obligated to sign him up permanently for £20-25 million next year. His performances have however been mixed. He has scored for Chelsea in just one of his five appearances and glimpses of potential must be a way he can turn that around.
Sancho started in the meantime and was taken off at halftime in a match against Liverpool. While some said Trent Alexander-Arnold had ‘seen off’ Sancho, Graeme Souness thinks otherwise. Liverpool, under new boss Arne Slot, has tweaked its style a bit, he thinks, playing a bit more patient in build-up play. But Souness thinks Liverpool lacks about performance on the whole, comparing them to Arsenal and Manchester City.
Sancho’s fate at Chelsea ahead of tonight’s game remains uncertain. Enzo Maresca believes that he is ‘special’ and is now his current manager. But Sancho has to work hard every day, keep their ambitions, and always try to get better. Chris Jones’ Chelsea will be in no mood to take the foot off the gas when second place is up for grabs in the Premier League against Tottenham.
Chelsea faces Newcastle United, a team in poor form under Eddie Howe with four games winless, on Saturday. Will Sancho shine? Stay tuned as the season progresses for updates. In 2021, Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho embarked on a rollercoaster of a transfer away from the Bundesliga side, and to Manchester United. High expectations surrounded his three-year tenure at Old Trafford, where he contributed only 12 goals and 6 assists in 83 appearances.
Jadon Sancho Loan deal
Sancho quit Dortmund for a loan and moved back to the club where he developed, triggering a public feud with manager Erik ten Hag. He thrived there, assisting Dortmund to the Champions League final. Dortmund, however, turned down a permanent move because of price clashes. Sancho was secured on loan by Chelsea with an option to buy. Souness said on the Three Up Front podcast.
Highly-rated winger Jadon Sancho launched a rollercoaster ride around English football. When he signed for Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund for £73m in 2021, he was expected great things. Despite that, he failed to reproduce such success during his three-year stint at Old Trafford. His 12 goals and 6 assists in 83 games in England were just a shadow of the 45 he averaged in Germany.
His Performances
Sancho’s exclusion from the first-team squad came after a public feud with then-manager Erik ten Hag. He returned from Dortmund on a six-month loan, seeking redemption, and he lived up to his responsibilities with Dortmund, helping the team reach the Champions League final. But Dortmund refused a permanent transfer due to disagreements over the price. Manchester United doesn’t want to keep him at the club. They started to look for options. And eventually, He signed on loan to Blues.
Sancho’s performances remain the subject of debate now, at Chelsea. Glimpses of potential, he’s yet to find the net for the Blues in five appearances but he hasn’t looked bad. Chelsea fans and pundits are hoping he can find his mojo and return to his stunning best. With the season coming to a close, Sancho’s name is on everyone’s lips.
