Promising 20-year-old French midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu is under observation by Everton in the next summer transfer window. Currently with Chelsea, Ugochukwu has had trouble getting much playing time. Everton sees a chance to cover voids in their midfield and add new talent. Ugochukwu started his career at Rennes, France. Before he joined Stade Rennais in 2012, he spent his young years with ASPTT Rennes and CPB Nord Ouest Foot. He grew into a good player over ten years at Stade Rennais, drawing interest from Chelsea. Last summer, Chelsea signed him; yet, he has struggled to fit into their first squad, only making 15 appearances and accumulating 567 minutes of playing time.
This Chelsea Player Is Wanted By Everton
This lack of playing time has caused doubt about his Chelsea future. According to reports, Everton has since been a major rival even though the club presented him to AC Milan. Given their present circumstances, Everton’s interests make sense. They need a good midfielder to cover for Amadou Onana’s expected leaving to Aston Villa.
Among numerous midfielders Everton has been considering are Florentino Luis. But Ugochukwu has turned into a top target now. Chelsea is receptive to a financing agreement, which would help all the stakeholders. For Ugochukwu, an Everton loan would bring greater playing time and meaningful first-team experience. Everton would improve their squad depth and budgetary flexibility by adding a competent midfielder to replace Onana. Chelsea, on the other hand, would have an opportunity to see their young talent grow in a challenging surroundings.
The possible action may result in a win-all. In the Premier League, Ugochukwu might establish his value; Everton could improve their midfield without a long-term commitment; Chelsea may get their player back with improved talents and experience. This agreement can turn out to be a smart move for all those engaged as the summer transfer season gets ready.
