Following a season spent at Chelsea, Jadon Sancho returned to Manchester United with one season left in his contract.
Given that the Red Devils are not planning to keep Sancho, as they do not believe he fits Ruben Amorim tactics, the latest rumours suggest that Man United are in advanced negotiations with Juventus to sell their winger to I Bianconeri.
Juventus have been targeting several wingers since the start of this summer transfer window, as they lack quality out wide.
Therefore, acquiring an experienced player like Sancho will undoubtedly represent a significant addition to the teams attacking capabilities, especially at this time.
Igor Tudor will surely welcome the arrival of such a winger, as he can build with Sancho to create a much more powerful attacking phase.
In this tactical analysis and scout report on one of the best English wingers, we will explore a potential Jadon Sancho Juventus transfer in detail to understand how Tudor tactics can utilise his potential as a new signing and how Sancho can lead Juventus back to finishing in the top spots in Serie A and the UEFA Champions League.
Jadon Sancho Potential Roles At Juventus
Sancho is known especially for his exceptional dribbling skills and explosive runs on both wings, as these are his main traits.
He can add a lot to Juventus’ attacking system, as no winger in the team can be as dangerous as he is, given his long and enriching experiences at clubs like Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United, and Chelsea.
Although no one can deny that Sancho has had periods of ups and downs throughout his career so far, especially due to inconsistency in terms of form, we can expect a powerful first season from Sancho at Juventus, mainly because the rhythm is a bit slower than the EPL and also because Serie A can represent a league in which talented players like Sancho can shine.
That said, Sancho will have to improve his physical strength and work on becoming much more powerful in duels to avoid unnecessary injuries and to be tougher to beat when trying to cut inside.
Sancho has an excellent opportunity to shine in Serie A, mainly because he possesses the skills necessary to succeed in a league that values dribbling skills and where players with good shooting technique and vision can be instrumental.
At the same time, everyone knows that it is more complex in terms of tactics and that players with dribbling abilities are usually subject to tight marking and disturbance from almost every team.
That’s why, if the deal goes through, Sancho will have to quickly adapt to Serie A teams’ playing style to find alternative movements and solutions to each team’s defensive style so that it does not become repetitive or predictable.
Jadon Sancho Radar Chart At Chelsea
The following Jadon Sancho pizza chart further highlights Sancho’s dribbling abilities and the fact that he attempts a lot of dribbles per match.
Nevertheless, the graphic also shows that the winger’s goal contribution rates were relatively low last season with the Blues.
This confirms that Sancho needs more individual and collective work with Tudor to become more impactful and clinical in terms of assists and goalscoring.
The unconvincing goal contribution numbers can also explain Manchester Uniteds decision to let go of their player and attempt to sell him at the end of this season.
Therefore, Tudor will have to be attentive to how he deals with Sancho as soon as he arrives, given that it will be important to win time and get the player quickly accustomed to the Italian teams style of play.
The pizza map also showcases Sancho’s excellent passing abilities and his high accuracy rates in this regard.
However, it also shows that Sancho does not provide dangerous passes as often.
