Right now, Jadon Sancho and his Chelsea teammates cannot escape talk about the title race.
Chelsea are currently second in the Premier League table, just four points behind leaders Liverpool.
Jadon Sancho helped the Blues to close the gap with the Reds after scoring in his side’s 4-3 win against Tottenham Hotspur last Sunday.
The winger was excellent that match, and Jason Cundy thinks there is more to come from Sancho.

Some Chelsea fans may be getting really excited right now. It has been years since they have seen their club compete for the title.
However, Sancho says his teammates are not getting carried away and are telling each other that they have not achieved anything yet.
When asked if Chelsea are trying to shut out all of the outside noise about the club challenging for the title, Sancho told Sky Sports: “Nah, but that’s what all the guys are saying to each other, like we haven’t done anything yet.”

While Chelsea may be in second, former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha still thinks Arsenal are Liverpool’s biggest threat to finishing first this season.
Jadon Sancho can help Chelsea challenge for the title
Chelsea signed Sancho on loan from Manchester United at the end of the last transfer window.
The Blues left it late to bring the 24-year-old in, but they will be so glad that they did sign him. He has made a great start to life at Stamford Bridge and looks capable of helping the club challenge for the Premier League crown.
In the nine top-flight games Sancho has played this season, the Englishman has scored two goals and registered three assists.
At present, he is also completing 1.9 dribbles per game in the Premier League. It is the highest average in Chelsea’s squad.
Averaging 0.8 shots per game, Sancho is not shooting a lot during matches. But if the England international starts to, then that Chelsea attack could start to score even more goals. As Sancho showed against Spurs, he is certainly capable of finding the back of the net.

If the former Borussia Dortmund man and the rest of Chelsea’s forward line can maintain the form that they are in, then Enzo Maresca‘s men should be in the conversation right up until the end of the season.
