Alan Shearer details one thing £25m Chelsea ace must do to rediscover his best form | OneFootball

Premier League legend Alan Shearer believes Jadon Sancho can recapture the form he showed at Borussia Dortmund, but he must maintain his good start to life at Stamford Bridge.

Sancho arrived on deadline day on an initial loan deal from Manchester United which will become permanent for around £25m if Chelsea don’t finish in the bottom six of the Premier League.

The 24-year-old faces fierce competition for places in the wide areas and will need to rediscover something near his best form if he’s to nail down a regular place in Enzo Maresca’s starting line-up.

Shearer shares thoughts on Sancho

Sancho has impressed in his first two appearances for the Blues and has two assists to his name after setting up Christopher Nkunku for the winner in his man of the match performance against Bournemouth, before setting up Nicolas Jackson for the opener against West Ham last weekend.

Maresca has stated he sees Sancho competing with Mykhailo Mudryk for a place on the left hand side and right now the England international is comfortably ahead of the struggling Ukrainian.

Sancho’s move to Chelsea is very much a fresh start and an opportunity to get his career back on track after a disappointing spell at Old Trafford.

Chelsea will be hoping they can provide an environment he can thrive in to help Sancho rediscover his best form and Shearer believes the winger can do that.

“We know there’s talent in Jadon, getting it out of him is the thing and he wasn’t going to be able to show that at Man United,” he told Betfair

“Jadon has shown that if he’s in the right environment and the right circumstances then he’ll be able to showcase his talent.

“He’s had a decent start at Chelsea but he has to keep it going. We saw it at Dortmund but we didn’t see it anywhere near enough at Man United.

“Chelsea have so many options in Sancho’s position. You can list four or five players that can compete on the right or left wing.
