“We welcome him to the club and look forward to him joining up with Mauricio Pochettino and his new teammates in the days ahead.”
Meanwhile, for the transfer of Ugochukwu, both directors were pleased and at the same time appreciated the effort of the club to sign a new player.
“We’re delighted Lesley is joining Chelsea. He is an impressive young player who has already made his mark in Ligue 1,”- the directors said for Chelsea TV.
“He has a huge amount of potential and we know he is going to continue to develop and improve. We are pleased that he has joined us [on tour] in the U.S. and will be able to integrate with the squad quickly.”
As it stands, both players have now joined the training. Saying so, they will be available to play for Chelsea in the first matches of the Premier League. They are an added value for Chelsea in the center-back. And in the midfield, both will be the reference points for Chelsea this season.
The coach can use them in defense with three or a formation with one or two midfielders. Enzo Fernandez will have the youngest Ugochukwu as a partner. Furthermore, building up is very important for Chelsea. Finally, this is the reason that the sporting directors moved for a central midfielder.
Though, Ugochukwu can be adapted in different roles and can help the squad in different moments.
