Chelsea hero John Mikel Obi, has said he has been proven right about Chelsea summer signing Jadon Sancho.

Sancho had struggled to impress at Manchester United, but then fell out with United manager Erik ten Hag last season.

Chelsea have signed up Sancho on loan with an obligation to buy next summer.

Sancho impressed as a substitute in his debut game against Bournemouth, and Mikel says he was right to have wanted Chelsea to sign the Englishman.

“We saw the Jadon Sancho we saw at Borussia Dortmund,” Mikel said on The Obi One Podcast.

“When his name was linked with Chelsea, I said he would be a fantastic player for us.

“He didn’t do it at United, but we can’t discredit the player he is. There is a player there.”
