Several high profile players changed clubs during the most recent window.

Longtime former England goalkeeper David James says Jadon Sancho is the best signing of the recently closed transfer window.

Sancho joined Chelsea on loan from Manchester United, the second season-long loan for the 24-year-old during Erik ten Hag's time as manager at Old Trafford.

The deal comes with an obligation for Chelsea to buy should certain milestones be met by the club and player, and James believes the London side could prove to be big winners of the transaction.

"My signing of the window has to be Chelsea’s capture of Jadon Sancho," James told safestcasinosites.co.uk. "He had a good debut against Bournemouth - looked really lively, and there’s no doubt that there is a player in there. He’s shown what he’s all about during his two spells with Dortmund.

"There was something about him at Manchester United which, for whatever reason, obviously didn't work. That can happen with players, particularly young ones, sometimes moves just don’t work out.

"His second spell at Dortmund re-energized him. It gave him the belief that he can operate at the highest level after his confidence was knocked at Manchester United.

"He’s going to get lots of opportunities to showcase his talent at Chelsea this season. I think it’s a great signing and a new environment could be exactly what he needs to start demonstrating that he is one of the best attacking players in the Premier League.

"In many ways, it’s similar to Cole Palmer. Chelsea are going to give him a platform to express himself. If he can follow in Palmer’s footsteps, then it’s a fantastic piece of business and one that could leave Manchester United looking pretty foolish indeed, especially if they keep on struggling."
