Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho has been linked to West Ham United throughout the summer.
The English winger is expected to leave this summer after failing to impress at the English giants.
Last season, Sancho spent the year on loan at Chelsea, where he helped the West London club lift the Europa Conference League.
The winger played a big role in this achievement, picking up seven goal contributions in the competition.
West Ham have been heavily linked to Sancho as they look to harness this ability for their squad this season.

Sancho closing in on move to Juventus
It was reported in June that West Ham had held talks to sign Sancho.
With Mohammed Kudus looking likely to depart West Ham this summer, Graham Potter is in need of reinforcements on the wing.
However, it now appears that the East London club’s pursuit of Sancho may be in vain amid emerging reports in Italy.

Sancho showed some promising performances at Chelsea
According to Sky Sports Italy (25 June), Juventus are leading the race for the winger.
It is said that Sancho’s decision on the transfer could be “hours away” as the Old Lady looks to finalise the deal quickly.
This now surely means that West Ham will miss out on the winger in another setback, if he was indeed a target.
It is hard to see how Sancho will stay in England, especially with a European giant like Juventus showing interest which can offer Champions League football.
This means that the Hammers have wasted months pursuing a target who is now set to more elsewhere.
Now, Potter has to move on to other targets or he runs the risk of being left behind in the window.

West Ham cannot sell Kudus until a replacement is sorted
With Kudus being linked to Tottenham this summer, Potter cannot sanction a sale until a replacement is sorted.
While the winger didn’t hit his previous heights last season, he is still an important player.
Sancho would have likely been Kudus’ replacement, and now that deal seems off, the Ghanaian departure has to be delayed.
Hopefully, Potter can find a suitable winger to join the London Stadium in the coming weeks ahead of the upcoming season.
