Chelsea make Strasbourg decision for Lesley Ugochukwu

Strasbourg are set to benefit from Chelsea's swoop for Rennes midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu.

L'Equipe says Chelsea have reached an agreement with Rennes for Ugochukwu over a fee of around 30m.

After three seasons in Brittany, the U19 France international will move to Chelsea - via French partners Strasbourg.

Foot Mercato says Chelsea will initially place Ugochukwu on-loan at Strasbourg.

With Rennes, the 19 year-old made 47 appearances in Ligue 1.
