“I Always Supported Chelsea as a Kid Because of Lampard and Drogba” – Sancho Reveals
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.

PSG Plan to Sell Kolo Muani to Make Room for Victor Osimhen in January
Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are set to reignite their pursuit of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen in January, according to reports from French news outlet RMC Sport.
The Parisians, led by manager Luis Enrique, are already in discussions with Osimhen’s representatives.
PSG’s interest in Osimhen dates back to the summer transfer window, when they were first linked with the 25-year-old forward.
However, the French giants were reluctant to meet the €100 million price tag set by Napoli, the Serie A club that currently owns Osimhen’s contract.
Currently, Osimhen is on loan at Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray, where he has continued to impress.
In just 14 appearances for the club, he has scored 10 goals and provided 5 assists, creating his reputation as one of the most dynamic attackers in Europe.
His performances in Turkey have only fueled PSG’s desire to bring him to Paris, with the club seeing him as a key player who could bolster their attacking options.
Osimhen’s loan move to Galatasaray includes a release clause, which allows him the option to leave the Turkish club during the upcoming winter transfer window.
This clause presents PSG with the opportunity to secure the striker’s services for a move to the French capital.
However, for PSG to make room for the Nigerian international in their squad, the club would need to offload Randal Kolo Muani, another forward who has struggled to secure a permanent spot in Enrique’s system.
Should the deal go through, Osimhen would join a star-studded PSG attack that already includes the likes of Kylian Mbappé and Neymar, further strengthening the club’s ambitions of European glory.

Carragher Says Arsenal Need a Stronger Left Wing and a More Reliable Striker
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s current squad, suggesting that the Gunners need to strengthen in two key areas if they are to improve their chances of success in the future.
Carragher, who has been a regular pundit on Sky Sports since retiring from professional football, believes Arsenal’s squad is lacking in depth in both the left-wing and center-forward positions.
According to Carragher, Arsenal’s lack of a reliable starter on the left side of attack is a major issue.
Currently, manager Mikel Arteta has Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli competing for the spot, with neither player consistently cementing their place in the lineup.
Martinelli, known for his pace and direct running, has shown flashes of brilliance but has struggled with injuries and form this season.
On the other hand, Trossard, who joined Arsenal from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2023, has impressed when given the chance but doesn’t offer the same explosive qualities as Martinelli.
Carragher pointed out that while these two players have potential, Arsenal might need to bring in someone more dependable for the left-wing role.
“I’ve always had reservations about Arsenal winning the title, and I’ve said it before,” Carragher explained.
“I’ve always felt they were missing a key player in attack. It’s not necessarily that they need a traditional striker, but they certainly need an upgrade on that left side.
Whether it’s Martinelli, Trossard, or Havertz up front, Arsenal need something more in those positions if they want to compete at the very top level.”

“I Could See Ronaldo Wanting to Manage Portugal in the Future” – Meulensteen Says
Former Manchester United assistant coach Rene Meulensteen recently shared his thoughts on the future of Cristiano Ronaldo
He suggested that the legendary footballer could take on the role of managing the Portugal national team once he steps away from playing.
Ronaldo, who is nearing the incredible milestone of 1,000 career goals, remains a dominant figure in football, especially as the only male player to surpass 900 career goals.
At 39 years old, however, some football fans believe that the time is coming for him to retire from the game, even though his passion and talent are still undeniable.
Meulensteen, who worked closely with Ronaldo during his time at Manchester United, believes that coaching could be an ideal next step for the forward.
In an interview with Mega Dice and GOAL, Meulensteen reflected on his experiences with Ronaldo as a young player.
“I only knew Cristiano when he was coming into the senior team as a young, upcoming, growing player who made a massive impact,” Meulensteen recalled.
“Whether he has the ambition to become a manager, I don’t know. Maybe he does. Would he like to manage Portugal in the future?
I would probably say yes because he’s so passionate about representing his country.
I could definitely see him wanting that.”
Ronaldo’s love for Portugal has been constant throughout his career, from his early days as a promising talent to becoming one of the best players the world has ever seen.
His commitment to his national team was shown when he led them to victory in the 2016 UEFA European Championship and the 2019 UEFA Nations League.
