Chelsea midfielder, Lesley Ugochukwu, is set to go on loan to 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 campaign with a hamstring injury. He did return for the final few games of the campaign. Transfer: Ugochukwu to leave Chelsea for EPL rivals
