Reiss Nelson has claimed that it’s so difficult to get the ball off one Chelsea star.
When you look at the current Chelsea squad, it includes so many technical and skilful players. Therefore, it’s no surprise that they’ve scored 17 goals in their opening eight Premier League games.
Speaking via the Premier League’s official website last month, Ian Wright said he’s confident Chelsea’s attack can dismantle most teams.
Reiss Nelson hails Jadon Sancho
Arsenal’s Reiss Nelson, who’s currently on loan at Fulham, has praised Chelsea star Jadon Sancho.
The duo grew up within five minutes of each other (The Guardian) in south London, and have gone on to enjoy successful professional careers so far.
When asked to pick his ultimate south London five-a-side cage football team, Nelson picked the Chelsea winger:
“Sancho [Jadon Sancho] on the left pocket, I want him working up and down though. You couldn’t get the ball off him, like he is now,” Nelson told BBC’s Football Focus.
Jadon Sancho can’t let off after quick start
Sancho’s been quick out the gate in his Chelsea career, creating three assists in his opening five appearances. He moved to Stamford Bridge in the summer from Manchester United on a season-long loan, which includes a £25m obligation to buy (BBC).
Speaking via talkSPORT last month, Darren Bent hailed Sancho as a “talented” player.
Despite a positive start with the Blues, he can’t let his foot off the gas because there’s huge competition for the starting positions.
The left-winger knows his starting role will be under threat from teammates such as Mykhailo Mudryk and Pedro Neto, both of whom impressed on Thursday in Chelsea’s Conference League victory over Panathinaikos.
