After the complications around the Victor Osimhen deal, Chelsea has now submitted a bid for Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho, hoping to get the deal done ahead of the Friday deadline.

The Blues have a number of players who can fill in on the wings, and, with Ivan Toney also being discussed, Chelsea strictly wants Sancho at this point, offering to take the player on loan with an obligation to buy for a fee higher than what Juventus offered.

You must wonder how easy it is for Chelsea to continue signing regardless of FFP hammers; the Blues want to get rid of Raheem Sterling and have made offers to a number of clubs, including Arsenal, who desperately needs a backup for Bukayo Saka.
