Former Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi has backed English forward Jadon Sancho to perform well at Chelsea, Soccernet.ng reports.
Sancho joined Chelsea on transfer deadline day after he saw that his chances of playing first-team football at Manchester United were very low.
He had a fallout with coach Erik Ten Hag last season, and that made him go out on loan to his former club Borussia Dortmund. There, he was impressive, playing an important role in the run-up to their second-place finish in the UEFA Champions League.
Eventually, Sancho buried his hatched with Ten Hag and returned to Manchester United in the summer.
The 24-year-old forward bagged a few minutes in pre-season, but it was clear that he was behind Alejandro Garnacho, Amad Diallo, and Marcus Rashford in the pecking order. Hence, he had to join Chelsea in a season-long loan deal.
