Ian Wright singled out Chelsea’s Jadon Sancho for big praise immediately after his weekend performance in the 4-3 league win away at Tottenham.
During an interview via the Premier League’s official X account, Wright said to Sancho: “Coming here on loan and playing, you’re getting yourself playing. You seem to be back to the Jadon Sancho we know. The touches were great. Nutmegging people, doing your stuff, scoring goals.”

Sancho, 24, continues to make an impact in this Chelsea team this season. He joined from Manchester United in the summer on loan with an obligation to buy, which was a transfer that many people criticised, but the deal is working out perfectly.
Jody Morris praised Sancho’s Chelsea display versus Spurs, especially the defensive work he showed out of possession.
The left-winger now has two goals and five assists in 10 Blues appearances across all competitions this season. It feels like he’s playing his way into Enzo Maresca’s strongest XI, too.
