In a stunning turn of events, Chelsea are reportedly eyeing a sensational swoop for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho.

The London club is prepared to offer a substantial transfer fee along with two of their academy players to secure the services of the England international, according to reports from Fussball.news.

Sancho, who earns £290,000 a week, has been at the center of transfer speculation following a turbulent period at Manchester United.

The winger spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund, where he successfully revived his form after being sidelined by United’s manager, Erik ten Hag.

Despite recent assurances from Ten Hag that their previous disagreements had been resolved, it appears that tensions between the player and manager remain unresolved.

This ongoing friction has reportedly opened the door for Chelsea, who are keen to bolster their attacking options.

Earlier this week, Mail Sport revealed that Paris Saint-Germain were in discussions with Manchester United over a £51 million deal for Sancho.

However, those talks have reportedly fallen through, leaving Chelsea in a strong position to make a move.

The proposed deal could see Sancho moving to Stamford Bridge on loan, with Chelsea covering his hefty wages in full.

The loan would include an obligation to buy, making the deal a potentially lucrative one for United, who are looking to offload the winger to free up funds for new signings.
