‘Chelsea Have Around 6 Wingers Already’ ‘Liverpool In The Mud’ United Fans React To Honigstein’s Comments On 78M Target

Manchester United and Chelsea are the only two clubs who will be able to afford Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho this summer, according to Raphael Honigstein.

The respected German journalist was reacting to news that Sancho could well be sold for between €80m (£69m) and €90m (£78m), when he said:

“In my opinion, only two English clubs are eligible for a Sancho transfer: Chelsea and Manchester United. His ex-clubs Man City and Liverpool, on the other hand, are not.”


Supporters on Twitter poured cold water on Honigstein linking Chelsea with a move for Sancho, with many believing that the Blues won’t be in the market for another winger:

It does seem as though United remain in pole position for Sancho, and if the 21-year-old’s asking price has dropped as much as some claim, it would be a surprise if the Red Devils don’t go after the player.

There are still question marks over where a winger fits into the Manchester club’s transfer priorities. Signing a new number nine was thought to be at the top of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s wishlist but Sancho’s availability could change their plans.
