Manchester United are looking at offloading Jadon Sancho on transfer deadline day, with Chelsea the likely candidates in securing his signature.
Even after seemingly making up with Erik ten Hag, it appears Jadon Sancho could be Stamford Bridge-bound, with both parties frantically trying to secure a deal in the dying embers of the window.
However, the Blues appear to have a reluctance to spend cash, meaning they will have to work by offering first-team squad players to Manchester United, or a loan deal.
Chelsea have offered Raheem Sterling to the Red Devils – but Manchester United aren’t interested. So who else could be appealing?
Well, recent news says Carney Chukwuemeka could be used as leverage in the Sancho swap. Now that’s an appealing prospect.
He is a massive talent. Chukwuemeka would also fit in very well at Manchester United, with definite room for competition where he operates.
