Reece James posts amazing throwback photo as Chelsea captain welcomes Jadon Sancho to Stamford Bridge following deadline-day move from Man Utd

Sancho has embarked on a new chapter in his career, joining Chelsea on a season-long loan from Manchester United. This move offers the 24-year-old winger a chance to rejuvenate his career after a challenging period at Old Trafford. Chelsea’s agreement with United includes an obligation to buy Sancho next summer for a fee ranging between £20 million and £25 million, depending on the club's performance this season.

Sancho isn't stepping into unfamiliar territory at Chelsea, as he already has strong connections within the squad. Among his friends at the club is James, who recently welcomed Sancho with a heartwarming throwback photo.

It is believed that Sancho has undertaken a massive pay cut to join Chelsea. He has been a Blues fan since his boyhood days and grew up idolising club legends Frank Lampard & Didier Drogba.

While fans are eagerly anticipating Sancho's debut in a Chelsea shirt, they will have to wait a bit longer. The England international was not registered in time to feature in Chelsea’s Premier League match against Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon. However, there is a strong possibility that he could make his first appearance for the Blues after the international break when Chelsea faces Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium.
