Jadon Sancho Forms a Strong Bond with Chelsea Teammate After Summer Move
Chelsea made waves in the recent transfer window by pulling off a surprise deadline-day signing of Jadon Sancho. The 24-year-old attacker joined the Blues on a season-long loan from Manchester United, with an obligation to buy included in the deal.
Impressive Debut and Instant Impact
Sancho wasted no time in impressing Chelsea fans during his debut, helping the team secure a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth in the Premier League. After a difficult time at Manchester United, where the English winger struggled to find his form, Chelsea supporters are hopeful he can recapture the brilliance he showed during his time at Borussia Dortmund.
Strong Connection with Christopher Nkunku
According to reports from GiveMeSport, Sancho has already developed a close connection with fellow Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku. The two players have clicked instantly, with Sancho providing the assist for Nkunku’s winning goal against Bournemouth.
Depth in Chelsea’s Attack
Chelsea’s attack boasts considerable depth, as seen in the match against Bournemouth, where Sancho, Nkunku, and Joao Felix all made significant contributions as substitutes. Head coach Enzo Maresca faces a tough challenge in figuring out his preferred lineup with such an array of attacking talent.
Maresca’s Puzzle in Chelsea’s Forward Line
Maresca likely has sleepless nights trying to balance his forward options. Christopher Nkunku, who earns £195,000-a-week (as reported by Spotrac), has been impressive so far this season, netting three goals in six games across all competitions. However, despite his strong performances, Nkunku has only started one of Chelsea’s four Premier League matches, underlining the difficulty in selecting the best lineup.
Chelsea has favored Cole Palmer as the No. 10 and Nicolas Jackson as the central striker, which has made it difficult to find a starting spot for Nkunku. However, if the partnership between Sancho and Nkunku continues to strengthen, they could very well force Maresca to rethink his attacking setup.
