Enzo Maresca has dropped the biggest hint that he may decide to keep on-loan Manchester United star Jadon Sancho at CHELSEA beyond the season, admitting that he is the type of player the club needs.
Jadon Sancho was hailed as one of the brightest talents in football during his time with Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, and his performances earned him a massive £85 million move to Manchester United, despite the interest from the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea.
However – poor performances, a falling out with ex-United boss Erik Ten Hag meant that his time at Old Trafford was done and Chelsea made the big decision to bring him to London on a loan until the end of the season, a move that shocked many in the Premier League.
The winger has been decent at times, but has struggled to get into the starting eleven side on a regular basis and there has been many Blues fans wondering why Enzo Maresca brought the winger to the club, but the Italian has revealed why he was signed by the club after the Blues European win at Heidenheim during the week.
‘It’s very important he was back,’ he said. ‘I have said since we started that Jadon is very important for us. He has to be fit mentally and physically, because he is going to help us a lot.
‘Unfortunately we couldn’t use him for a few games, but last night he showed again how important he is for us.
‘He is what we need, especially against a team that defends with a low block. We need that quality in the last third, the last pass and he can shoot, sometimes he will shoot more than he did against Heidenheim. But I think he is going to help us a lot.’

At time Sancho can be brilliant and looks like the player he was in the Bundesliga, if Maresca can get the best out of the winger, he could produce 20 goals a season every year, he seems lot more happy at CHELSEA than he was in Manchester.
There has been some talk that he could stay at the end of the season, but it seems that Maresca is a big fan and would like to see Sancho stay if the chance was there.
