Chelsea have enjoyed a busy transfer deadline day and they have managed to secure some huge deals.
Chelsea have been targeting a deal for Jadon Sancho for the last few weeks and they have managed to get a deal over the line on the last day of window after agreeing terms with Manchester United.
Raheem Sterling will not be a team-mate of Sancho, though, as he is heading out of the club to Arsenal in what has been a frantic final 24 hours for Chelsea.
Jadon Sancho moves with £25million obligation
HITC revealed early on deadline day that Chelsea had made an initial loan move for Sancho as they matched an offer from Juventus that was already on the table.
The original bid for Sancho from Chelsea was a straight loan, but following talks an obligation was included in the deal and HITC is told that the price agreed upon with United is £25million, which will be due to be played next summer.
Sancho, who was a boyhood Chelsea fan, was eager to move back to London and he has now got his wish with a deal now agreed.
Raheem Sterling is linking up again with Mikel Arteta
With Sancho heading into Stamford Bridge, HITC can confirm that Raheem Sterling is heading to Arsenal with a loan deal agreed.
HITC revealed that Arsenal showed an interest last week when it became known that Sterling was not part of Chelsea’s long-term future, indeed Gunners boss Mikel Arteta confirmed his admiration for the player that he previously worked with at Manchester City.
“He’s someone I have really strong feelings about,” Arteta said.
Now after a day of talks, Arsenal have made their move and agreed a loan deal with Chelsea that will not include an option or obligation.
HITC is told that Arteta made it clear to Arsenal’s hierarchy that he believed Sterling was a ‘good fit’ to the club and would help them this season.
