Jadon Sancho, the 24-year-old English international, has recently made a big decision in his football career. He has left his previous team, Manchester United, and joined Chelsea instead. However, despite his ongoing issues at United, Sancho has been warned that this may not have been the best move for him.
Sancho's time at Old Trafford has not been the most successful, and he has now officially ended his spell there by joining Chelsea on an initial loan deal. The transfer was completed on the last day of the transfer window, and it includes a clause that obligates Chelsea to sign Sancho permanently for a fee between £20-25 million next summer.
The winger had been eager to leave United after falling out of favor with their manager, Erik ten Hag, and struggling to perform at his best. He even spent the second half of last season back at his former club, Borussia Dortmund, on loan. And to make matters worse, he was not even included in United's squad for their first two games of the season.
It was clear that something needed to change, but former Premier League defender Michael Dawson believes that joining Chelsea may not have been the best decision for Sancho. He has doubts about whether the young player will even be a regular starter at his new club, as Chelsea already has a number of talented wingers.
Dawson expressed his surprise at the move, stating that there are already strong players in Sancho's position at Chelsea. He acknowledged Sancho's abilities as a player, but questioned if he will get the necessary playing time at his new club. Dawson also pointed out that Sancho seemed to thrive at Dortmund, and he needed to go somewhere where he would be a regular on the field.
Chelsea is currently going through a lot of changes, and the competition for playing time is fierce. Dawson believes that Sancho may struggle to establish himself as a key player at Chelsea, just like he did at United. He also mentioned that the winger's former clubs, Dortmund and United, are both top-tier teams, but he needs to be playing regularly to reach his full potential.
Sancho's official presentation to the Chelsea fans is expected to take place before their Premier League match against Crystal Palace on Sunday. However, one player who will not be involved in this game is Raheem Sterling, who made a sensational move to Chelsea's London rivals, Arsenal, on deadline day.
Despite the doubts surrounding Sancho's move to Chelsea, the winger remains determined to prove himself and revive his career at his new club. Only time will tell if this was the right decision for him, but one thing is for sure - the competition for playing time at Chelsea will be fierce.
