Despite Erik ten Hag stating that he expects Jadon Sancho to remain at Manchester United, the Athletic are reporting that the winger is likely to complete a move to Chelsea.

The report states that talks over a loan deal with an obligation to buy are ‘advanced’, with Sancho keen on joining the Blues. When asked if Sancho would be staying at the club earlier today, Ten Hag said: “As I know, yeah.

“He is a player in our squad and we are happy with him. We need a good squad, we need depth in the squad, we have to play many games until January, the new format of Europe. After the break we will play every third day so we absolutely need options.”

Chelsea have submitted an official bid to Manchester Utd for Jadon Sancho, according to Fabrizio Romano.

According to the report, the deal is an initial loan proposal, with terms similar to that offered by Juventus. However, the total package is expected to be higher.

Sancho is reportedly open to the move.

A final deal is now set to be struck between the clubs if agreement can be found.
