Chelsea move not a risk for Jadon Sancho, says Enzo Maresca

Sancho has joined Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund for a fee of £70 million.

The 21-year-old winger has signed a five-year contract with the Blues.

Enzo Maresca, the former coach of Serie A club Parma, does not believe that Jadon Sancho's move to Chelsea is a risk.

Sancho is one of the most highly-rated young players in the world and has been linked with a move to the Premier League for several years.

He finally made the switch this summer, joining Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund for a fee of £70 million.

Some have questioned whether Sancho is ready for such a big move, but Maresca believes that he has the potential to be a success at Chelsea.

"I don't think it's a risk," Maresca told Goal.

"He's a very good player with a lot of potential.

“He's still young, but he has already shown what he can do at Borussia Dortmund.

"I think he can be a success at Chelsea."

Sancho is expected to make his Chelsea debut in the Premier League game against Crystal Palace on August 14.
