'Different level': Anthony Elanga says Chelsea have a £25m player who's unbelievably good

Today at 04:15 AM

Chelsea have a number of incredibly talented players on their books right now.

From Cole Palmer to Noni Madueke, the Blues have an incredible depth of attacking talent.

Jadon Sancho arrived at Chelsea this summer in a deal that will eventually be worth £25m, and while Sancho hasn't quite hit the ground running yet for the Blues, there have been some sparks of life.

Indeed, the winger was brilliant in the Conference League on Thursday against Heidenheim, and, hopefully, that performance can be a launching pad to propel himself forwards.

Chelsea fans hailed Sancho after that performance.

Speaking to Pro Direct Soccer, Anthony Elanga has been discussing Sancho and his ability.

Elanga, of course, played with Sancho at Manchester United, and he says that the £25m man is simply a different level when he's on his game.

Jadon Sancho is a different level

Elanga was full of praise for Sancho.

The Nottingham Forest star said that Sancho is a top player as well as a top man off the pitch as well.

"In your opinion, how good is Sancho?" Elanga was asked.

"That guy, you saw what he did in the Champions League last season, he's brought that quality to Chelsea and that's helped Chelsea. Sanch is just a different level man, he's a top guy and a top player as well," Elanga said.

Jadon Sancho stats this season

Sancho hasn't necessarily been a world beater at Chelsea this season so far, but he has shown glimpses of quality.

He's yet to score his first goal for the Blues, but he has been assisting at a solid rate so far, averaging an assist every other game.

Remarkably, Sancho has already matched his best assist tally in a season for Manchester United, so it's clear to see he has improved this season.

Sancho has recently been compared to Eden Hazard for a reason. He's a player who is very tidy on the ball and knows how to beat a man, and while his end product isn't quite there yet, his stats from his best season at Borussia Dortmund show that he could still step up another gear.

Chelsea do have a talent on their hands here, and if they can find a way to get the best out of Sancho in the coming months, that £25m obligation to buy fee will look like an absolute bargain.
