Chelsea made so many signings during the summer, and Jadon Sancho is the addition who is getting a lot of praise right now.

After registering an assist on his debut against Bournemouth last Saturday, Jadon Sancho was able to make an impact for Chelsea again in their 3-0 win versus West Ham United earlier.

The winger set up Nicolas Jackson for the Blues’ opener, though the striker still had a lot to do after he received the ball.

West Ham’s defenders didn’t get close to Jackson and were made to pay for it.

With Sancho combining well with the 23-year-old and Chelsea’s other attackers, the England international will continue to earn praise. But another recent signing also deserves some recognition.

Tosin Adarabioyo’s performance against West Ham United

Tosin Adarabioyo was making his first start in the Premier League for Chelsea, and the central defender did not disappoint.

Defensively, Adarabioyo was solid, while in possession, he was also quite effective.

As per Sofascore, the 26-year-old made five clearances, won two ground duels and was not dribbled past once.

Adarabioyo also completed 45 out of the 51 passes he attempted, giving him a pass success rate of 88%.

On the ball, he looked so calm and composed. For such a big guy, he may have surprised some Chelsea supporters.

Before the game, Adarabioyo had a cheeky message for West Ham, warning them that the Blues had “bubbles to burst”. His team ended up doing just that.

Tosin Adarabioyo could prove to be one of the deals of the summer

Adarabioyo is a 6’5″ centre-back who has now made 80 appearances in the Premier League.

Yet Chelsea managed to sign him on a free transfer after his contract at west London rivals Fulham expired in the summer.

“The way he can defend the box but also on the ball he is a special player,” his former manager Marco Silva was quoted as saying by beIN SPORTS last year.

Ultimately, with Chelsea not having to pay a single penny for his signature, Adarabioyo could easily end up going down as one of the deals of the summer. His display at the London Stadium was promising to say the least.
