Jadon Sancho: Chelsea winger wants to “bring excitement” after loan from Manchester United


Jadon Sancho says he wants to “bring excitement” to Stamford Bridge and emulate his Chelsea idols after his loan move from Manchester United was confirmed.

England international Sancho, 24, joined the Blues until the end of the season in a deal that sees Chelsea pay the majority, but not all, of his wages.

It also includes an obligation to sign the forward for between £20-25m next summer.

His move went through in the early hours of Saturday – the day after transfer deadline day – and was announced by both clubs later in the day.

In an interview with the Chelsea website, he said: “My idols growing up were Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard and now I have the opportunity to play for this club like them. It’s a great feeling.”

The south London-born winger has played 23 times for England, but his last cap came back in 2021.
