LATEST NEWS: “We have a great understanding” – Jadon Sancho has already built a strong connection with a Chelsea player earning £195k-a-week.
Jadon Sancho Builds Strong Relationship with Chelsea Teammate After Summer Arrival
Chelsea made headlines during the recent transfer window by securing the surprise deadline-day signing of Jadon Sancho. The 24-year-old winger joined on a season-long loan from Manchester United, with an obligation to buy included in the deal.
Impressive Start and Immediate Impact
Sancho quickly won over Chelsea fans during his debut, contributing to the team’s 1-0 win over Bournemouth in the Premier League. After struggling to find his form at Manchester United, Chelsea supporters are hopeful he can regain the brilliance he displayed during his Borussia Dortmund days.
Close Partnership with Christopher Nkunku
According to GiveMeSport, Sancho has already formed a strong bond with fellow Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku. Their chemistry was evident when Sancho provided the assist for Nkunku’s winning goal against Bournemouth.
Chelsea’s Deep Attacking Options
Chelsea’s attacking depth was on full display in the Bournemouth match, where Sancho, Nkunku, and Joao Felix all made significant impacts off the bench. Head coach Enzo Maresca now faces the challenge of determining his ideal forward lineup with so many talented options at his disposal.
Maresca’s Dilemma with Chelsea’s Attack
Maresca likely faces tough decisions when managing Chelsea’s forward line. Christopher Nkunku, who earns £195,000-a-week (as per *Spotrac*), has had a strong start to the season with three goals in six matches across all competitions. However, despite his solid performances, Nkunku has only started once in Chelsea’s four Premier League games, highlighting the difficulty in selecting a regular starting eleven.
Chelsea has leaned toward Cole Palmer in the No. 10 role and Nicolas Jackson as the primary striker, limiting Nkunku’s starting opportunities. But if the partnership between Sancho and Nkunku continues to flourish, Maresca may need to reconsider his current attacking setup.
