Chelsea is aiming to secure a forward signing before the September 1st deadline, and a surprising name has emerged as a potential addition: Manchester United’s winger, Jadon Sancho.

Since his 2021 move to United, Sancho’s performance hasn’t reached expected heights. Chelsea holds significant interest in the English winger, despite United’s likely reluctance to part with him this late in the transfer window.

The Secret Scout has reported that Chelsea is exploring the possibility of signing Jadon Sancho from Manchester United within the next 48 hours, marking the final countdown to the transfer deadline.

Sancho is part of a shortlist that includes Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati and Raphinha from Barcelona. Chelsea’s focus on adding a creative element to their squad is driving their pursuit of a forward.

Given the limited time remaining, Manchester United is unlikely to entertain a Sancho sale without a replacement lined up. Talks between United and Chelsea are already underway, although a deal’s viability remains uncertain due to the tight timeframe.

Chelsea is on the cusp of making a decision and will subsequently initiate formal negotiations for their chosen player. While United’s stance on Sancho’s departure remains uncertain, the situation adds intrigue as the deadline approaches.

As the September 1st cutoff looms, all eyes are on the developments surrounding Jadon Sancho’s potential move to Chelsea.
