Sancho on UCL for Chelsea

Chelsea star Jadon Sancho has said that the club are aiming to qualify for the Champions League next season.



The Blues registered a second-straight league win on Sunday. They beat Leicester City by a solitary goal at Stamford Bridge.

Speaking after the game, Sancho said the Blues want to play Champions League football, but it won't be easy to achieve the target.

He said: "We want to play Champions League next year. That's the aim. But it's going to be very tough.

"We've got a few hard fixtures home and away, so we just have to keep at it and giving 100 percent all the time."

Chelsea welcome Copenhagen in the second leg of the Conference League on Thursday. They are 2-1 ahead on aggregate.

The Blues will then travel to the Emirates Stadium to face London rivals Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.

Chelsea are winless in the last six meetings against the Gunners. They have picked up just two points during that period.
