Galatasaray have reportedly agreed a €30 million deal with English club Burnley for the 22-year-old.
“When I was little, I always dreamed of playing for big teams. Now I’ve come to a big club like Galatasaray. I’m very happy,” Ugochukwu said.
The former Rennes academy graduate has also played for Chelsea and Southampton. He made 38 appearances and scored three goals for Burnley last season.
