Lesley Ugochukwu, the 21-year-old defensive midfielder currently playing for Chelsea, is reportedly on the radar of fellow Premier League club Burnley.
Ugochukwu, who carries both French and Nigerian nationalities, has had a stable season with Chelsea, appearing in 26 matches, scoring once, and providing one assist.
Burnley, currently in 9th place with 56 points, could significantly benefit from Ugochukwu’s defensive prowess. The young midfielder’s market value stands at €18.00m, which converts to approximately 134 million DKK, certainly a substantial investment for Burnley. However, considering Ugochukwu’s potential and the stability he could bring to Burnley’s midfield, it could be a wise investment.
The transfer window is currently open, which means negotiations and player movements are possible. It remains to be seen if Burnley will make a move for Ugochukwu before the window closes at the end of August. Chelsea’s stance on the potential transfer is unclear, but it is certain that any decision will be made with the club’s best interests in mind.
