Jadon Sancho to West Ham 'a real possibility', expert reveals how deal could happen

Free agent Sancho could join West Ham if willing to drop to the Championship and accept a significant wage cut, says former scout.

Jadon Sancho remains without a club since leaving Manchester United as a free agent in June. The 26-year-old winger has rejected offers from Getafe and Saudi Arabia, but West Ham have emerged as surprise contenders after making contact in recent weeks.

Former West Ham scout Mick Brown told Football Insider a move to the Championship club is "a real possibility", though it would represent a major step down from his previous level. The deal hinges on Sancho's willingness to drop divisions and accept substantially reduced wages — he has been demanding around £250,000 per week, the level he earned at Old Trafford.

Sancho's search for a new club has been complicated by his wage demands, which have already scuppered moves to Aston Villa and Chelsea. While Premier League clubs remain interested, West Ham's emergence as contenders suggests his options are narrowing after months without a club.
