Le Parisien are reporting that Lesley Ugochukwu’s (19) move from Stade Rennais to Chelsea FC has been completed after the Frenchman completed his medical with the London side.
It was first revealed by L’Équipe earlier on Saturday that Chelsea were in negotiations to sign the 19-year-old midfielder. Amidst reported interest from West Ham United, Chelsea moved quickly, securing a €30m agreement with Rennes. Ugochukwu, who featured 26 times for Rennes in Ligue 1 last season, has already undergone his Chelsea medical in London, according to Le Parisien journalist Benjamin Quarez, the France youth international will sign his contract with the Blues in the coming hours.
Whilst Ugochukwu’s move to Chelsea seems imminent, it is unclear whether he will remain at Stamford Bridge this season. RMC Sport reported earlier on Saturday that the Frenchman was set to remain in Ligue 1 and join Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace, who are also owned by BlueCo.
