Chelsea ‘exploring’ shock Jadon Sancho transfer in deal that could include player moving in other way to Man Utd
CHELSEA are reportedly exploring a shock deal for Jadon Sancho that could see a player move the other way to Manchester United.
Sky Sports claim the two clubs are in talks ahead of Friday's transfer deadline.
While Di Marzio claims Chelsea outcasts Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell are of interest to the Red Devils.
But it remains to be seen if an agreement can be reached in time before the window slams shut.
Sancho was left out of United's squad for yesterday's defeat at Brighton.
It appeared that the winger was back in Erik ten Hag's good books following last season's bust-up.

Sancho returned from his Borussia Dortmund loan and was welcomed back into the fold.
He even appeared in United's Community Shield defeat to Man City, missing a penalty in the shootout.
But Red Devils chiefs are ready to cash in for the right price.
And Chelsea are now said to be leading the race for Sancho's signature.
The Blues have already splashed out on several new attackers this summer, with Pedro Neto and Joao Felix the latest arrivals.

They also remain in the market for a No9 like Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.
Yet Enzo Maresca is down a winger after sidelining Raheem Sterling.
The former Man City man has been told to look for opportunities elsewhere after failing to impress in pre-season.
And Sterling is now training with a 13-man ‘bomb squad’ on the academy pitches at Cobham.
It’s believed Chelsea are ready to offer a player to United as part of any deal for Sancho.
And Sterling is one of the options who could head to Old Trafford this summer.
The Blues also have left-back Ben Chilwell training away from the senior squad.

He was linked with an Old Trafford move this month following Luke Shaw’s latest injury setback.
And United could prefer Chilwell to Sterling instead.
