As the summer transfer window edges closer to its conclusion, Chelsea have been urged to reconsider their interest in Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho.
Former United striker Louis Saha has warned the Blues that signing Sancho would be a "really bad piece of business" especially with the abundance of young attacking talent already at Stamford Bridge.
Sancho, who has struggled to secure a consistent spot at Manchester United, has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with Chelsea reportedly keen on the 23-year-old.
However, Saha believes that the move wouldn't benefit either party. Speaking to Betfred, Saha expressed his doubts, saying: "That's going to be a really bad piece of business, for sure, because it's really hard to see how it can work due to all the other young attacking players already at Chelsea."

Sancho to Chelsea? Saha says it doesn't make sense
Saha further questioned why Sancho would even be excited to join Chelsea, given the competition for places. He noted that while Sancho might be looking for regular first-team football, there is still a place for him at United, should the manager decide to keep him.
Saha didn't stop there; he also weighed in on the recent rumors linking Chelsea's Raheem Sterling with a move to United.
The former striker was clear in his stance that Sterling, due to his age, doesn't "fit the bill" for what United need right now.
Saha said: "He's a great player, but I don't see Raheem fitting the bill for Manchester United. I know we need that extra flair, but I'd prefer to see Marcus Rashford in top form rather than signing another player in the same position."
As the transfer window countdown continues, Chelsea and United face critical decisions that could shape their seasons ahead. While Sancho and Sterling's futures remain uncertain, it's clear that not everyone is convinced that these moves would be the right fit for the clubs involved.
