Transfer: Chelsea’s Ugochukwu to join EPL rivals

Chelsea midfielder, Lesley Ugochukwu, is set to go on loan to Premier League side Southampton.

According to The Athletic, it will be a season-long loan.

With Enzo Maresca inheriting a bloated squad, Ugochukwu will be sent out to get more playing time.

Ugochukwu signed for Chelsea last summer from Rennes for a £23.5m fee.

The 20-year-old made 13 appearances under Mauricio Pochettino last season.

However, Ugochukwu missed virtually the entire second half of the campaing with a hamstring injury.

He did return for the final few games of the campaign.
