robsblubot 3,595 Posted April 15, 2024 Share Posted April 15, 2024 Looks just like another ball-winning mid to me -- nothing special about his game. Hope it's just age and he improves, but that's what I see right now. Can't see him being an upgrade on Caicedo regardless how one rates the latter. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,195 Posted July 19, 2024 Share Posted July 19, 2024 Chelsea recall Lesley Ugochukwu from France Olympic squad https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5647244/2024/07/19/lesley-ugochukwu-Chelsea-france-olympics/ The French Football Federation (FFF) says Chelsea have recalled Lesley Ugochukwu from his participation with the France Olympic squad. Ugochukwu was named in Thierry Henry’s preliminary selection for the under-23 tournament in his home country in June but missed out on a place in the condensed 18-man squad earlier this month. However, Olympic football rules allow teams to take up to four replacements that can come in for any injured players in the initial selection at any time during the tournament, and then return to replacement status if the player returns to fitness. U.S. women’s head coach Emma Hayes said last week she sees it as a 22-player squad. As the Olympics is not a tournament within a FIFA window, club sides are allowed to block their players from participating. Ugochukwu joined Chelsea from Rennes for around £23.5million ($30.3m) last summer. The 19-year-old featured regularly as a rotation option in the first half of the season but suffered a hamstring injury that saw him miss most of the second half of the campaign, ending with 15 appearances across competitions. The Athletic reported earlier this month that Chelsea were reviewing loan options for Ugochukwu, with the club’s priority that the midfielder spends the season at another Premier League team. Chelsea have been back in training since July 4 and are due to head to the U.S. for a pre-season tour on Monday, where they will face Wrexham, Celtic, Club America, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Inter Milan. Henry’s France side, meanwhile, have been drawn in Group A alongside the U.S., Guinea and New Zealand. The Athletic has contacted Chelsea for comment.

NikkiCFC 8,326 Posted July 21, 2024 Share Posted July 21, 2024 So Henry didn't even pick him for France u23 squad. He was there as replacement in case someone gets injured or something. Tells you all you need to know about his quality. StaleUrine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,195 Posted December 3, 2024 Share Posted December 3, 2024 Chelsea yet to decide whether to recall Lesley Ugochukwu from Southampton loan, says Enzo Maresca https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5965587/2024/12/03/lesley-ugochukwu-southampton-Chelsea-transfer/ Enzo Maresca says Chelsea have yet to make a decision over whether to recall midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu from his loan spell at Southampton next month. Ugochuku joined Southampton, who Chelsea play at St Mary’s Stadium on Wednesday night, on a season-long loan in August. But the 20-year-old has started just two Premier League games since then and played just 425 minutes in all competitions overall. Southampton coach Russell Martin left him out of the squad altogether for their last game against Brighton & Hove Albion on Friday and Ugochukwu responded by deleting mentions of Southampton from his social media accounts (although they seem to have been restored now). But when asked if Chelsea will trigger a break clause in the loan agreement when the window opens next month, Maresca said: “I have no idea at the moment, no idea about loans or transfers. Before January we have seven Premier League games, there are too many matches to be thinking about that.” Chelsea agreed to send Ugochukwu, who has made 15 appearances for them since joining from Rennes for around £23.5m last year, to Southampton in order for him to get more first-team football this season. Chelsea will be without Reece James and Wesley Fofana (both hamstring) for the Southampton game on Wednesday night. Southampton will be missing Tyler Dibling, Flynn Downes and Taylor Harwood-Bellis due to suspension, while Aaron Ramsdale, Will Smallbone, Adam Lallana, Jan Bednarek and Ross Stewart are injured.

GO DEEPER How Southampton have conceded eight, yes eight, goals from their errors in 12 games Probably an arguement to add him to the B team and send Casadei off on loan. His profile is probably actually a better fit for the B team than Casadei as he is more similar to Lavia and Caicedo than Casadei? Which means he can slot into the A team more easily.

LAM09 7,056 Posted December 7, 2024 Share Posted December 7, 2024 Proving to be another poor loan move. He isn't even in Southampton's squad, and he didn't even play in their mauling against us. A recall has to be a cert at this point. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
