Chelsea Signs Jadon Sancho From Manchester United—-Chelsea has now confirm Jadon Sancho move from Manchester United on an initial season-long loan deal with an obligation to buy for a £20m plus £5m in add-ons.

Jadon Sancho has completed a season-long loan move to Chelsea from Manchester United.

The 24-year-old winger has moved to Stamford Bridge on an initial loan deal, The Blues have an obligation to buy Sancho next summer. Late on Friday evening, within the final hour of the deadline, Thecloudngr reported that Chelsea were on the verge of signing Sancho.

A deal sheet, giving Chelsea an extra two hours to wrap up the signing, was submitted before the 11pm deadline. Now, Sancho has completed a move to SW6 – but has not registered in time to take on Crystal Palace at the weekend. Instead, his debut could come against AFC Bournemouth after the two-week international break.

Speaking about his move, Sancho said: “I’m really excited to be here. London is where I grew up and I’m happy to be back. The manager spoke to me about the project and, for a young player, it’s exciting. Hopefully I can bring goals and assists to the Bridge.”

Sancho has yet to play in the Premier League this season having missed United’s opening win over Fulham due to an ear infection before being left out of last weekend’s 2-1 defeat to Brighton. The attacker played in last season’s Champions League final after securing a short-term loan at former club Borussia Dortmund in January amid a fall out with Erik ten Hag.

The pair had been at loggerheads after Sancho publicly rebutted Ten Hag’s reason of training levels being behind why the player was omitted from his squad versus Arsenal a year ago. The duo agreed to draw a line under their feud earlier this summer but Sancho was only afforded seven minutes in the Community Shield final.

Explaining more about his switch to Stamford Bridge, Manchester City academy graduate Sancho said it was a chat with Enzo Maresca that sealed his decision. “I think it’s the manager who really drew me to the project,” he said.

“I knew him from his time with Pep Guardiola in Manchester City. He spoke to me on the phone about this project and what he was building here, and for a young player like myself it’s exciting and I can’t wait to get started.

“They’re signing me for a reason and to contribute to the team, and I’m ready to do that. I enjoy his style of play. The wingers when they get on the ball, he loves them to go one versus one and be direct.

“We play a lot of one-twos with the 10s and the striker combination plays. It’s very attractive and it’s a style that I play.”
