Jadon Sancho has agreed to leave Manchester United for another Premier League club on a season-long loan.

Chelsea signed Sancho in a similar deal this time last summer, but with an obligation to buy him for £25 million.

However, the Blues decided against signing the 25-year-old because his wage demands were far too high.

Chelsea then paid £5 million to send Sancho back to Old Trafford, and he has been looking for a new club ever since.

Well, he is now expected to complete a deadline day loan move to a Premier League team in European competition.

Jadon Sancho accepts another Premier League loan move

Sancho was linked with a transfer to Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce earlier in the window, but a deal never materialised.

Fabrizio Romano has now reported that Sancho will join Aston Villa on loan for the 2025/26 season.

Head coach Unai Emery had been desperate for new additions after failing to sign several top targets, including Nicolas Jackson.

Sancho will now compete with Morgan Rogers, Evan Guessand and Donyell Malen for a place in Emery’s starting line-up.

Jadon Sancho’s Chelsea statistics assessed

Jadon Sancho’s loan spell at Stamford Bridge was obviously not a resounding success, but it was not terrible either.

Sancho had eight goal contributions in the Premier League and was integral to Chelsea’s Conference League campaign.

He scored two goals and provided five assists in just over 500 minutes of football in the European competition.

Sancho’s excellent goal in the final against Real Betis proved that he still has something to offer and could do well at Aston Villa.
