Jadon Sancho and Tosin Adarabioyo Shine in Chelsea’s 3-0 Win Over West Ham United
Chelsea’s summer signings have been a major talking point, and Jadon Sancho has quickly made his mark, earning praise for his contributions since joining the club.
After registering an assist on his debut against Bournemouth, Sancho delivered again in Chelsea’s 3-0 victory over West Ham United, setting up Nicolas Jackson for the opening goal.
Sancho’s link-up play with Chelsea’s attackers, especially Jackson, has been a key part of their early success.
However, another new signing, Tosin Adarabioyo, deserves recognition for his impressive performance in the same match. Making his first Premier League start for Chelsea, the 6’5″ centre-back showcased both defensive solidity and composure in possession.
According to Sofascore, Adarabioyo made five clearances, won two ground duels, and was not dribbled past once. He also demonstrated his ability on the ball, completing 88% of his passes (45 out of 51 attempted), which highlighted his calmness under pressure.
Adarabioyo’s defensive prowess and ball-playing ability have quickly made an impact, with many fans and pundits seeing him as one of Chelsea’s most promising summer additions.
Signed on a free transfer from Fulham, the 26-year-old could turn out to be one of the best deals of the transfer window. His dominant display at the London Stadium underlined his potential to become a key figure in Chelsea’s backline.
Chelsea’s business this summer looks to have been shrewd, and if Adarabioyo continues in this vein, he could be a critical player for Enzo Maresca’s side moving forward.
