The more I think and hear about this rumor the more it makes sense to me. A front line of Havertz, Mount, Werner, Pulisic and Sancho (+Ziyech) is crazy versatile and could play in almost any combination while a true no.9 striker like Haaland would mean less flexibility but more direct goal threat. Of course Kane would be the ultimate singing because he can play upfront as well as a bit deeper but I don't see Chelsea signing him for some reason.

 

Add Sancho and Marquinhos (<3) to this squad and it'd be unbelievable flexible.

Poor man's Christian Pulisic. No thanks.

Id sign him, he looks too good a player to miss out on and dont want to see him play for a rival.

More Sancho rumours doing the rounds. Not sure there is anything to it, as we seem pretty stacked in those attacking midfield areas. 

Really like him as a player though, and who knows, maybe the plan is to just bring another quality attacker if we cant get a true 9 in. 

 

We are not though;  if long term Havertz is playing as a ‘9’ and we assume we are going back to a 4-3-3 in the summer, then Sancho certainly has a place.

I'd prefer Mbappe, would be a logical transfer

Some highlights of the German cup final.

Both Sancho and Haaland score.

The first goal from Sancho is exactly what Chelsea have been missing this season. We don’t have anyone who can finish like that, from not a clear chance to a really nice goal.

Every time I see a highlight of Dortmund it's basically scoring from a counter-attack, so much space.

I believe we have plenty of Sanchos actually, Puli, Mount, Havertz, Ziyech can all create a little bit of magic out of nowhere when in form.

I'm not against getting Sancho (if only to make our squad even better), but what we don't have is a Haaland outmuscling and outrunning defenders, hitting the ball with both feet (literally) and scoring anyway. Confidence is truly a mysterious thing. Like always our striker conundrum would be solved instantly if only Alonso had the pace for it, now that'd be fearsome. 

I'm fairly confident that Timo & Kai will come good with the goals next season, and hopefully our fans in the stadiums will get the best out of them every single game. 

Another 2 assists today 

Only seems sensible if a marquee striker doesn’t come in and Chelsea play with Mount in a midfield three. There’s a lot of ifs and buts there but having Werner, Sancho, pulisic and Hudson odoi as the options on the wings looks exciting it’s whether you can keep them all happy 

Should we be looking at him? Clearly got talent and would hope TT can get even more out of him. Chelsea fan to boot.

It's funny cause it's almost like he's sending signals "please Chelsea bid for me before Man United gets me..."

100% but not with Tuchel bent on rinsing this 3-5-2
