Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has raised doubts about Jadon Sancho’s decision to join Chelsea from Manchester United. Petit has suggested that Sancho’s move, which took place on transfer deadline day on a season-long loan deal with an obligation to buy, may have been driven primarily by financial incentives.
Petit questioned Sancho’s choice in light of his recent career moves, which include a loan stint at Borussia Dortmund and a return to Manchester United. He highlighted the instability and lack of consistency at Chelsea this season, implying that these factors, combined with a crowded squad, might not offer Sancho the stability he needs.
Petit remarked, “How can Sancho bring himself to sign for Chelsea after what happened at Manchester United?” He noted the frequency of Sancho’s club changes and expressed concern that Chelsea, currently struggling with consistency and confidence, might not provide the ideal environment for Sancho to regain his form. Petit’s comments reflect a broader debate about the motivations behind high-profile transfers and the impact of financial considerations on player decisions.
