Chelsea makes “world-class prospects” their dream goal

During the international break, some of the biggest news surrounding Chelsea is the future of the club’s Jadon Sancho.

But now it is reported that West Londoners can choose to pay £5 million as compensation, which will make the Blues breach its terms of obligation and send the winger back to Old Trafford.

Sancho has made 28 appearances for Chelsea since his arrival, scoring twice and providing 6 assists for a total of 1,725 ​​minutes.

But if he doesn’t improve his form in the back end of the season, can Chelsea choose to send him back and head in the other direction towards that left-wing location?

Chelsea seeks winger

According to Fabrizio Romano (via Simon Phillips), Chelsea’s “dream” transfer target is Atléticobilbao Winger, Nico Williams, who showed widespread interest in previous windows.

However, Romano also mentioned that Williams is the “dream” target for other clubs such as Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Barcelona.

According to Romano, the main factor in any deal Williams is to convince him to join. His current salary (reported to as high as £167,000 per week) could be a factor in Chelsea when discussing any trades with the winger.

Williams has made 37 appearances so far this season, scoring nine goals, providing seven assists, and playing 2599 minutes. So how could Williams have made great progress to Sancho and why is he so suitable for Enzo Maresca’s system?

Nico Williams vs. Jadon Sancho

In Maresca’s system, the wingers often undertake 1V1 isolation against opponent defenders, hoping to use these moments directly, attack and create opportunities.

Noni Madueke thrives in this area for Maresca, usually direct, and drives into the free throw area, creating dangerous opportunities for yourself and others.

When comparing the basic metrics of Williams and Sancho this season, you can see that Williams acts more directly, providing more goal threats, higher shooting percentages, creating more balls for his team, and carrying balls more frequently.

Sancho, on the other hand, helps improve, his passes are able to play more and get better assist numbers every 90 times, but maybe not as explosive as Williams.

In the past, the 22-year-old Spaniard was posted on “world-class prospects” by writer Zach Lowy, praising his ability to cut down, test goalkeepers, but also continually defeating his defenders, a real “threat” against the opposition.

Send Sancho back to Manchester United and pick up a more straight forward winger who can provide Chelsea with similar qualities that Madueke offers this season, can fit slightly into Maresca’s system, making Maresca’s system slightly better, allowing either side to force the problem and push the team forward.

Williams can then represent the “dream” upgrade that Bruce is looking for on the side.
