The three Premier League clubs interested in signing Jadon Sancho This summer has been disclosed, as per a report.
The ex-England player aimed to revitalize his career with Chelsea after losing popularity with Manchester United following a publicly contentious disagreement with his previous manager Erik ten Hag .
After being excluded from the team to play against them, Ten Hag had expressed dissatisfaction with Sancho's performance during training sessions. Arsenal In 2023, the player labeled the statements as 'entirely false' in a social media post that was subsequently removed.
Ten Hag demanded an apology due to this situation, but Sancho chose not to provide one; as a result, he didn’t play under the Dutch manager anymore and was sent out on loan to Chelsea following a short stint at his old club. Borussia Dortmund .
The Blues had an opportunity to secure his services permanently for £25 million this summer — a mere portion of the £73 million United had shelled out four years earlier. However, they chose to pay £5 million to terminate the agreement, leaving Sancho set to return to United.
His future continues to be uncertain, however, based on The Sun There are three premier division English teams aiming to sign the ex-England winger permanently.
It is claimed that one of those teams is Tottenham, which has the allure of the Champions League following their qualification via victory in the Europa League.
Thomas Frank is poised to be named the new head coach at Tottenham Hotspur, and he might bring in Sancho as one of his initial transfers, should this information prove accurate.
Aston Villa is another club involved in European competition as well, but they secured their spot through Europa League qualification instead. This came about because they missed out on finishing within the top five of the Premier League after losing their match against Manchester United on the last day of the season.
Villa signed Marcus Rashford - another player who was sidelined at United - on loan for the latter part of last season. After falling out of favor at Old Trafford and facing criticism from Ruben Amorim, Villa managed to improve the forward’s performance.
Hence, there is proof that Villa and Unai Emery have the ability to improve players' situations, making this a tempting opportunity for Sancho.
The third team is Newcastle, who, similar to Tottenham Hotspur, qualify for the Champions League. They have been seeking a winger for quite some time, and Sancho matches their requirements perfectly.
It has been reported that Villa wants a loan agreement, whereas United favors a permanent move to strengthen their team.
Borussia Dortmund – the German team where Sancho had two stints – were likewise keen on bringing him back.
Sancho turned to social media to express gratitude towards the Blues for his tenure at the club following the announcement that Chelsea wouldn’t be converting the loan into a permanent transfer.
Thankful for this journey," Sancho shared with his 10.4 million Instagram followers. "Huge appreciation to everyone at Chelsea who welcomed me—team mates, staff, and supporters.
'Hoping the team continues to thrive. Deeply thankful, thanks a lot Blues.'
The accompanying message featured a collection of some of Sancho's finest performances while wearing a Blues jersey, highlighting his contributions in both the Premier League and the UEFA Europa League.
