Chelsea’s decision to bring in Jadon Sancho from Manchester United has been hailed as a masterstroke, with the winger rediscovering his best form at Stamford Bridge.

Initially arriving on loan with an obligation to buy for £25 million, Sancho’s transfer has drawn praise from pundits, including Arsenal legend Ian Wright.

Speaking on the move, Wright commended Chelsea for their astute business: “Sancho looks back to his best since leaving Old Trafford for Stamford Bridge. Chelsea made a smart move in the transfer market, and it’s proving people wrong.”

Sancho, 24, had struggled to hit the heights expected of him at United after his stellar performances at Borussia Dortmund. A loan spell back at Dortmund last season reignited his confidence, setting the stage for his resurgence under Enzo Maresca at Chelsea.

The winger’s performances have reminded fans of the elite young talent who once lit up the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, United’s decision to let him go for a cut-price deal is now being questioned, with Sancho becoming a key player for the Blues.
