Chelsea winger Jadon Sancho recently shared his childhood admiration for the Blues, revealing that his love for the club grew from watching Chelsea legends Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba in action.

Ahead of Chelsea’s upcoming Premier League match against Everton, Sancho opened up about his journey to Stamford Bridge, where he joined on loan from Manchester United after struggling for regular playing time at Old Trafford.

Speaking candidly about his move to Chelsea, Sancho admitted that it still feels a bit surreal, but he’s excited to be back in an environment that feels like home.

“It’s still a bit weird to me, but it’s always good to be home. My family is close, and I’m happy to be here,” he said.

Growing up, Sancho was a keen follower of Chelsea, and the influence of two of the club’s most iconic players, Lampard and Drogba, played a major role in shaping his admiration for the team.

Both players were instrumental in Chelsea’s success, winning numerous trophies and making lasting memories for fans.

Lampard, the club’s all-time top scorer, and Drogba, known for his powerful performances and crucial goals, inspired a generation of footballers, including Sancho.

“I always supported Chelsea as a kid because of Lampard and Drogba,” Sancho revealed.

Before making the move to Chelsea, Sancho had conversations with former Chelsea player and now coach Enzo Maresca.

Maresca was eager to work with the talented winger, adding to Sancho’s excitement about joining the club.

“Speaking to Enzo Maresca before I came here, he was determined to work with me,” Sancho shared.
