Mikel criticises Sancho’s lack of impact and urges him to ‘wake up’ amid poor Chelsea form Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has delivered a scathing assessment of Jadon Sancho’s performances, claiming the winger has failed to live up to early promise at Stamford Bridge. Sancho, who joined Chelsea on loan from Manchester United, has struggled in recent months, leading Mikel to call for him to take more responsibility.
Jadon Sancho’s Chelsea career started with promise, but his form has significantly dipped, prompting fierce criticism from John Obi Mikel. Speaking on The Obi One Podcast, Mikel accused Sancho of ‘deceiving’ fans with a strong start before disappearing in recent months. The former Blues midfielder believes Sancho lacks the drive to make an impact, particularly with injuries limiting Chelsea’s attacking options.
Mikel also took aim at Chelsea’s recruitment strategy, questioning why a proven striker wasn’t signed and criticising the short-lived return of Joao Felix. With Sancho managing just two goals in 23 games, concerns are growing over whether his loan move – which includes an obligation to buy – will prove to be a costly mistake.
