Jadon Sancho told he does not suit Chelsea tactically

Former Watford forward Troy Deeney argues that Jadon Sancho is not an ideal tactical fit for what Enzo Maresca is trying to build at Chelsea.

"I just think from a purely footballing point of view, I don't see how Chelsea works for him, because Chelsea have worked best from what I've seen so far when players are running in behind," Deeney said on talkSPORT.

"And I think at Man United he didn't suit what Ten Hag wants. He wants high pressure. He wants people to run in behind. And I don't think that's Jadon's game.

"I think he needs to find the team he's more suited, I say, an Arsenal and a Man City, in terms of they're going to work it up to that area."

Sancho has so far only featured once for Chelsea, coming on after half-time against Bournemouth. This time was enough for him to make an impact, as he provided an assist for Christopher Nkunku's match-winning goal.
