Jadon Sancho has expressed his excitement about joining Chelsea on loan from Manchester United with plans for a permanent transfer next summer. The 24-year-old England winger will spend the rest of the season at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea will cover most of his wages and commit to buying him for £20-25 million in the summer. The clubs finalized the transfer in the early hours after the transfer deadline day and both teams officially announced it later.
Sancho, who idolized Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard looks forward to playing for Chelsea and bringing excitement to Stamford Bridge. He shared his enthusiasm with the Chelsea website, eager to emulate his heroes and contribute to the team. Born in south London, Sancho has earned 23 England caps with his last appearance coming in 2021. He joined Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund for £73 million in July 2021.
Despite a promising start, his time at Old Trafford has been troubled by a high-profile dispute with manager Erik ten Hag and a period of training away from the first team. After returning to Dortmund on loan in January, Sancho rejoined United but has not featured in their Premier League games this season. Sancho also expressed respect for Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, whom he admired from Maresca’s time with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
He is excited to work with Maresca and enthusiastic about the project at Chelsea. Jadon Sancho looks forward to contributing to the club’s future vision.
