Former Chelsea star Jadon Sancho has issued a message to one of his old teammates following the Blues’ victory in the FIFA Club World Cup.
Chelsea claimed a 3-0 victory over Esperance in their final group stage match of the tournament in the United States. Tosin Adarabioyo, Liam Delap and Tyrique George found the back of the net for the Blues to secure all three points and progression to the last-16 stage.
Tosin was awarded the Player of the Match award for his performance at Lincoln Financial Field for Chelsea.
After the victory, Chelsea’s Instagram account posted a video of the centre-back receiving his award. The video also showed Cole Palmer clapping Tosin while his teammate held the Player of the Match trophy and was later joined by Malo Gusto and Romeo Lavia.
Sancho left a comment on the post, which featured a laughing face emoji and a clapping hands emoji in a message to Tosin.
Chelsea had the option of signing Sancho on a permanent deal worth £25million following his loan spell from Manchester United. However, the Blues opted not to activate the clause, which came with a £5million penalty fee.
Since it was confirmed that Sancho would not be a Chelsea player for the long term, the winger has been heavily linked with a host of clubs. There have even been reports claiming that Arsenal could be a destination, while Juventus and Napoli have also been linked with a move for the England international.
It remains to be seen where Sancho will be playing his football next season, with reports suggesting that Man United would want a permanent deal this summer given his contract at Old Trafford expires in 2026.
Sancho scored five goals and provided 10 assists for Chelsea during his loan spell at Stamford Bridge. The England international ended his time with the Blues by scoring in the 4-1 win over Real Betis in the Conference League final last month.
Chelsea can end the 2024/25 Premier League season on a high, but it is never quiet at Stamford Bridge and the summer looks set to be one full of news, with Enzo Maresca looking for transfer to bolster his squad.
