Ex-Nigerian international, John Mikel Obi, has asked his former club, Chelsea to ensure they bring Manchester United’s forward, Jadon Sancho to Stamford Bridge.
The Three Lions forward was loaned to his former club, Dortmund after falling out with Man United’s manager, Erik ten Hag last season
Sancho is yet to play a competitive game for the Red Devils this season and is being linked with a swap deal involving Raheem Sterling.
Speaking on the possible deal on his podcast, former Chelsea midfielder, Obi said he would be happy if it went through.

He also described the embattled England international as a “fantastic player”.
He said: “If we can get him through the door at Chelsea, I’d be very, very happy. He’s a fantastic player.
“I think on that side of the pitch, we’re very strong. But listen, if we can get a player like Jadon, of course, you’d be happy to have him. If that happens, I’d be very happy.”
The Blues will have to move fast to actualize the deal since there are only three days left in this season’s transfer market.
