0% dribble attempts, 0% cross completion, 17% duels won: United are so lucky to be selling this dysfunctional star

Jadon Sancho continued his poor form for Chelsea in the club’s vital 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur yesterday.

The England international has hit the headlines recently as the Blues were rumoured to be having doubts about signing the United winger at the end of the season due to his poor form.

Chelsea have an obligation to buy the player in the summer but it was reported that they could exit the deal by paying United compensation of £5 million.

Nonetheless, it appears that the club will buy him but they could also look to immediately sell him as Borussia Dortmund appear interested in his services once more.

Sancho played 68 minutes in Chelsea’s match yesterday and failed to score or assist for the 14th consecutive game.

He did complete 23 of his 26 passes and had 38 touches of the ball.

Sancho was involved in two major instances in the first half. He ran at the Spurs’ defence and played in Cole Palmer who fired the ball across goal in what almost ended up as a goal for the blues.

The winger also missed a golden chance to break his duck. He controlled a deep ball into the box and got a shot off quickly but it was well tipped away by Guglielmo Vicario.

He failed to complete any of his crossing attempts and was unsuccessful in his two dribbling attempts as he struggled to break down the Tottenham defence.

The 25 year old was also poor defensively as he only won one out of his six ground duels for a percentage of 17% and 0% of his aerial duels.

He also lost the ball nine times in the game.

Sancho will hope to have another chance from the start to break his goal and assist drought when Chelsea travel to face Brentford on Sunday afternoon.
