The winger has enjoyed a significantly brighter start to the campaign than he would’ve at his parent club, with the Stamford Bridge outfit currently occupying a Champions League place in fourth and on the back of a 4-2 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion. Sancho, 24, has assisted in each of his three league appearances since his loan began.
