The transfer of Jadon Sancho from Manchester United to Chelsea became one of the biggest surprises of the transfer window. The clubs reached an agreement for the former Borussia Dortmund star just before the deadline.
Today, Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca explained why his team needed Sancho, considering the strong competition for the winger position.
Quote:
“I’m very happy to have Sancho at Chelsea. He’s here because we like players who are strong in 1-on-1 situations. He will be crucial, especially when opponents play a low block against us. Sancho is very important for us.”
Reminder: Sancho joined Chelsea on loan, with the London club obligated to buy him if they finish no lower than 14th in the Premier League.
Sancho could make his debut for Chelsea in the match against Bournemouth on September 14.
