Chelsea loanee Jadon Sancho has struggled for consistency at Stamford Bridge. Questions have been asked about the winger’s long-term future, but he has certainly impressed manager Enzo Maresca with his efforts in training.
Sancho joined on a season-long loan from Manchester United over the summer, and Chelsea are almost certain to finish high enough in the table to trigger a permanent purchase. The 24-year-old is without a goal or assist since January, though, prompting questions about what he can offer going forward.
Former Chelsea star William Gallas argued Sancho “can’t stay” at Stamford Bridge. He suggested the Blues saw the Borussia Dortmund version of Sancho early on before his output fell away, arguing a starting winger at a club competing for Champions League football needs to do more.
Sancho started against Arsenal on Sunday, but neither he nor his team-mates was able to trouble David Raya during a 1-0 defeat. It has emerged that Enzo Maresca’s side can pay Manchester United a fee to get out of their £25million obligation to buy, and Gallas believes that might be the best move.
Maresca was the one in charge when Chelsea forced through their summer move for Sancho, though. And, unless the Italian’s feelings have changed, he appears to be a fan of the player’s efforts in training above all else.
