Barter option
With Chelsea on the hunt for Gittens and Sancho potentially returning to Dortmund, the stage is set for a swap – a solution that could suit all parties. well worth the cost of €85 million to bring him to Old Trafford.
- Chelsea would have secured one of their most important goals of the summer.
- Gittens would have been given the opportunity to return to England
- Sancho would have had the chance to regain his form at Dortmund
Sancho’s time at Chelsea
Sancho had a promising start at Chelsea with assists in each of his first three Premier League games for the club, but his form has dropped drastically since.
The former England international has not contributed a goal or assist in the last 13 games in all competitions, and large parts of Chelsea’s supporter base want academy player Tyrique George to take his place in the starting line-up.
In addition, the summer arrival of Estevao Willian is likely to limit Sancho’s playing time, and Chelsea’s search for a new right-footed winger could push the 25-year-old closer to the exit door.
If a swap is realized, it can be a win-win situation for everyone involved:
- Chelsea get a young, promising striker in Gittens
- Dortmund brings back a former star who needs a new environment
- Sancho gets a chance to revive his career in a familiar environment
