Jadon Sancho has been labelled a transfer deadline day “panic buy”.
Sancho has joined Aston Villa on loan from Manchester United for the season.
He was one of three arrivals at Villa Park on deadline day, alongside former United teammate Victor Lindelof and Harvey Elliott, who has joined the club from Liverpool on an initial season-long loan with an obligation to buy for £35m conditional on appearances.
"You look at Sancho, I look at that as maybe a bit of a panic buy on the last day of the window," former Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor said on talkSPORT.
"Didn't work for him really at Chelsea, no other club wanted to pay the wages he's on.
"But Marcus Rashford came to Aston Villa and did okay. Maybe you'll see Sancho have as similar an impact as Marcus Rashford did. Some games, top class. Some games not looking as interested as he should be."
