Chelsea has entered the fray in the Jadon Sancho transfer battle, with the London club reportedly weighing a £100 million bid for the Borussia Dortmund star.
Sancho, 19, has established himself as one of Europe's top young players, and Manchester United had been tipped to sign him next summer. However, Chelsea's interest in the England international could change the dynamics of the transfer market.
Sancho has a strong connection to Chelsea, having grown up as a fan in south London, and the club's willingness to spend big on him could be a major factor in his decision.
Chelsea's interest in Sancho comes as the club looks to strengthen its squad, particularly in the center-forward position. The Blues are reportedly targeting RB Leipzig's Timo Werner, who could provide a significant boost to their attack.
Manchester United, meanwhile, are facing a battle to sign Sancho, with Liverpool also showing interest in the player. The Red Devils will need to act quickly to secure his signature, as Chelsea's willingness to spend big could give them an edge in the transfer market.
