Premier League: Chelsea Sign Sancho on Loan from Man Utd
Chelsea have signed Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho on loan until the end of the season.
The deal includes an obligation for Chelsea to sign the England international, 24, for between £20-25m next summer.
Sancho joined United in a £73m deal from German club Borussia Dortmund in July 2021 but has had a difficult time at Old Trafford.
He made 83 appearances across the three full seasons but had a high-profile falling out with manager Erik ten Hag which led to him training away from the first team.
Having re-joined Dortmund on loan in January, he returned to United in the summer and has not been in the squad for either of their Premier League games so far.
The last of his 23 England caps came back in 2021, having been overlooked for Euro 2024 and the World Cup in Qatar in 2022.
Sancho had already fallen out with Erik ten Hag when the trio of senior figures were installed. The uneasy truce negotiated to get Sancho back for pre-season training and onto the club’s tour of the United States was a temporary state that allowed him to retain his fitness, making it easier to find an alternative club to continue his career.
