In a shocking transfer twist, Jadon Sancho has bid farewell to Manchester United and joined Chelsea on a season-long loan deal.
The 24-year-old winger was unveiled by the Blues on Saturday evening, marking a new chapter in his career.
Sancho expressed his excitement about joining Chelsea, citing his childhood idols, Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard, as inspirations. “My idols growing up were Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard, and now I have the opportunity to play for this club like them,” Sancho told Chelsea’s official website. “It’s a great feeling.”
Sancho promised to bring excitement to Stamford Bridge, hinting at his attacking prowess. His addition to the Chelsea squad is expected to boost their chances in the upcoming season.
The loan deal includes an obligation to buy Sancho for £20-£25m next summer, making his move to Chelsea a potential long-term one. This stipulation indicates the Blues’ confidence in Sancho’s abilities and their willingness to make him a permanent member of the team.
