The1905.Club Summary

After initially showing promise following his £20-25m loan-to-buy move from Manchester United, Jadon Sancho has suffered a dip in form at Chelsea. The 24-year-old winger has failed to score or assist since early December, leading Enzo Maresca to limit his game time in recent weeks.

Former Chelsea defender William Gallas has questioned whether Sancho can ever be a consistent performer in the Premier League, pointing out the physical and mental demands of the league. John Obi Mikel echoed these sentiments, stating that Sancho has “disappeared off the grid” after showing brief glimpses of his Borussia Dortmund form.

These criticisms raise the question of whether Manchester United were justified in selling Sancho, as he struggles to deliver on the high expectations set upon his return to England.
