Chelsea have unveiled Jadon Sancho at Stamford Bridge ahead of today’s Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.
The England international has joined Chelsea on loan from Manchester United, though the deal will be made permanent next summer, unless the Blues have a truly catastrophic campaign and finish lower than 14th in the Premier League table!
Sancho largely flopped at Man Utd but he showed some glimpses of getting back to his best form during his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund in the second half of last season.
Now he’s at Chelsea and the home crowd have certainly given him a warm welcome as you can see in the video clip below…

Sancho could be a bit of a gamble, but if it pays off it will be one the Chelsea ownership will be glad they made, as there’s clearly a talented player in there somewhere.
The 24-year-old never quite looked right in the set-up at United, and it might just be that he was one of many big names to struggle with the Red Devils in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.

 
Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez and Antony are some of the others who arrived with great reputations but then struggled, so perhaps Sancho just chose the wrong club when he first left Dortmund a few years ago.
Chelsea fans will certainly hope this can be the start of Sancho getting his confidence back and performing like we all know he can when he’s at his best.
