Having re-joined Dortmund on loan in January, England International Sancho returned to United in the summer and did not appear in the squad for either of their Premier League games so far. Chelsea announced the winger who they signed for the season loan with an obligation to buy on a permanent deal next summer.

“My idols growing up were Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard and now I have the opportunity to play for this club like them. It’s a great feeling.” Sancho said on an interview with Chelsea website.

The 24-year-old England international sealed his move late on transfer deadline day, with the announcement coming on Saturday evening.

Jadon Sancho said he is delighted to play to his home town.

“I’m really excited to be here. London is where I grew up and I’m happy to be back,” he said. “The manager spoke to me about the project and, for a young player, it’s exciting. Hopefully I can bring goals and assists to the Bridge.”

“I think it’s the manager who really drew me to the project,” he said.

“I knew him from his time with Pep Guardiola in Manchester City. He spoke to me on the phone about this project and what he was building here, and for a young player like myself it’s exciting and I can’t wait to get started.” the winger said referring to Chelsea’s manager Enzo Maresca  “[Chelsea are] signing me for a reason and to contribute to the team, and I’m ready to do that. I enjoy his [Maresca’s] style of play

“I want to bring goals and assists. I’m a skilful player and I want to bring excitement to the Bridge. Hopefully, it will turn out well.” he added
