Chelsea boss, Mauricio Pochettino, has confirmed Lesley Ugochukwu is one for the future.
Chelsea are closing a deal for the 19 year-old Rennes midfielder.
Itโs been suggested Ugochukwu will be immediately loaned to Chelseaโs sister club Strasbourg โ which Pochettino has now confirmed.
Speaking after their preseason win against Fulham, the manager said: โItโs obvious that maybe we need to reinforce this area. We need experience in midfield.
โMy information is a player that is from France that they sign with the idea for some loan. The information was already in your laptop. Nothing to say too much.โ
