Jadon Sancho’s Chelsea career started brightly following his move from Manchester United last summer, registering three assists in his first three games under Enzo Maresca. However, his form has dipped, with the winger managing just one assist and failing to score in the Premier League since December.

Despite criticism from Chelsea fans and others, Sancho has still looked better than Raheem Sterling, who has struggled to make an impact at Arsenal this season.

Sterling, now 30, has found opportunities limited at the Emirates but was handed a rare start in Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Leicester City due to injuries. However, he failed to impress, managing neither a shot on target nor a successful dribble before being substituted just before the 70th minute.

While many Chelsea supporters feel that comparing Sancho and Sterling is simply a debate between two underperforming players, the former is still only 24 and showed promise at the start of the season. In contrast, Sterling failed to live up to expectations during his time at Stamford Bridge.
