Simon Jordan thinks one Chelsea signing is adapting very well to life in west London.

Chelsea brought in a lot of players during the summer, including Jadon Sancho, Pedro Neto and Joao Felix.

All three of those footballers featured in the Blues’ 4-3 win against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Sancho and Neto both started the game, and it was the former’s goal that got Chelsea back in the game after they found themselves 2-0 down less than 15 minutes in. After the full-time whistle, Sancho revealed what Enzo Maresca said at half-time to inspire the team to victory.

Simon Jordan impressed with Jadon Sancho’s display at Tottenham

Given the size of Chelsea’s squad and Sancho’s struggles at Manchester United, many questioned his move to Stamford Bridge.

However, Jordan thinks he is fitting in really well at the club and thought he had a solid game against Tottenham.

Discussing the winger on talkSPORT, the former Crystal Palace chairman said: “I thought Jadon Sancho was very good yesterday. You know, ultimately, there’s been criticism of him in the past, but he seems to be fitting into the structure of Chelsea relatively well.”

Paul Merson also liked what he saw from Sancho, describing his goal in north London as “phenomenal”.

Jadon Sancho proving doubters wrong

Those who questioned Sancho’s move to Chelsea are starting to look a bit silly. It is a deal that has worked out extremely well for all parties, bar Manchester United, of course.

Sancho is now playing regularly and performing. His goal against Tottenham was his fifth goal contribution in just nine league games for Chelsea.

As for the Blues, they have got an extremely talented winger on loan and will only have to pay £25m to sign him permanently when their obligation to buy kicks in. It was hands down one of the deals of the summer.

He seems to be a real part of this team, with Sancho defending Marc Cucurella after his first-half horror show. All in all, United will be regretting giving Sancho away and for peanuts, especially with Erik ten Hag not even being at the club any more.
