Chelsea reportedly agreed a deal to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United as Raheem Sterling left Stamford Bridge to join Arsenal also on loan at the 11th hour after a frenzied transfer deadline day in the Premier League.
The winger Sancho was expected to join the Blues on loan with an obligation to make a permanent move next season for £25 million .
But he shone during a loan spell back at Dortmund during the second half of last season, helping the German giants reach the Champions League final. Sterling, who cost Chelsea £50 million from City just two years ago, was one of a number of players urged to find a new club. "Together we will fight to win trophies and reach the level where this club needs to be," said the 23-year-old.
Arsenal added goalkeeper Neto as cover for David Raya on a season-long loan from Bournemouth, after letting Aaron Ramsdale leave for Southampton in a £25 million move. The Eagles signed striker Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal in a deal worth up to £30 million, French defender Maxence Lacroix from Wolfsburg and a loan deal for Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah.
