CHELSEA could have an exciting new XI if they complete a stunning move for Jadon Sancho.
Reports claim the Blues are in talks to sign Sancho on an initial season-long loan.
And the deal would become permanent for a tasty fee in the summer of 2025.
Sancho is looking to rebuild his reputation after struggling to impress at Manchester United.
But he could go straight into the starting XI should he move to Stamford Bridge.
Sancho’s strongest position is arguably on the left wing.
It’s an area where Chelsea themselves have failed to nail down, with Raheem Sterling and Mykhailo Mudryk proving to be inconsistent.
And Sancho could form part of an exciting front four also featuring Victor Osimhen.
Chelsea are hoping to complete a big-money move for the Napoli striker.
But they will have to break the bank unless they can get the Italians to take Romelu Lukaku as part of a swap deal.

Elsewhere, Christopher Nkunku and Cole Palmer are likely starters in Enzo Maresca’s team.
That means Pedro Neto and Noni Madueke would have to settle for bench places along with Nicolas Jackson.

In midfield, Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo are likely to start due to their hefty joint-£220million price tag.
It leaves Romeo Lavia and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall as fine back-ups.
While in defence, Reece James and Marc Cucurella could get the nod over Malo Gusto, Renato Veiga and Ben Chilwell.
While Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo and Benoit Badisahile are likely to play second fiddle to Wesley Fofana and Levi Colwill.
Finally, Filip Jorgensen will be hoping to start as No1 goalie, with Robert Sanchez possibly seen as second choice again.
