  WHAT HAPPENED?

  After failing to break into United's first team, the winger swapped Old Trafford for Stamford Bridge in August and so far the move has worked out nicely for the Blues. Now, ex-Liverpool defender Glen Johnson says this deal, an initial loan followed by a reported £23 million ($29.2m) transfer fee next summer, is looking very "one-sided."

  WHAT GLEN JOHNSON SAID

  The former Stoke City man told Betfred: “It looks like a completely one-sided deal. These days, £23 million for a player like that, it’s like giving him away. What he’s done in the last few weeks is what we know he’s capable of, but he just needs to do it more often. He looks like he’s enjoying himself and that’s why he’s putting in performances, so the manager and his backroom staff deserve credit too because these players that weren’t performing are now, so getting Jadon to perform at a cost of £23 million could be the best deal ever.”

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Sancho never got going at United and proved to be a £73m ($92.7m) flop. However, the England international may be resurrecting his career after scoring two goals and bagging five assists for Chelsea to date. As Johnson, says, he just needs to deliver week on week and if he does, the ex-Borussia Dortmund star could be a transfer bargain.
