Chelsea have completed the signing of Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho on loan until the end of the season.
The deal includes an obligation for Chelsea to make the move permanent next summer for a fee between £20-25 million.
Sancho, 24, joined Manchester United in a high-profile £73 million transfer from German side Borussia Dortmund in July 2021 but has struggled to find consistent form at Old Trafford.
During his time with United, Sancho made 83 appearances over three seasons but experienced a turbulent period.
This included a notable falling out with manager Erik ten Hag, which resulted in him training away from the first team.
After rejoining Borussia Dortmund on loan in January, Sancho returned to Manchester United in the summer but has yet to feature in either of their Premier League games this season.
Sancho, who has earned 23 caps for England, has not represented his country since 2021.
He was left out of the squad for both the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament.
Earlier in the day, United boss Erik ten Hag suggested during a pre-match press conference that Jadon Sancho might remain with the club
“As far as I know, I expect him to stay, yeah,” the Dutchman said.
“We are happy with him. We need a good squad.
“We have to play many games until January.
“After the break we play every third day so we need options.”
