Opinion: Signing Sancho but not Osimhen sums up Chelsea right now

All summer long Chelsea have apparently been courting Victor Osimhen, and then on deadline day not only do they not end up with the Nigerian hit-man, but they sign Jadon Sancho to replace Raheem Sterling.

It’s a comical situation if you’re not a Blues fan, and one entirely of the club’s own doing.

The thing is that no one will be in the slightest bit surprised by this odd turn of events because ever since Clearlake Capital have been in charge at Stamford Bridge, nothing has made any sense.
