SOUTHAMPTON:
Southampton have signed midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu from Chelsea on a season-long loan deal, the newly promoted Premier League club announced late yesterday.

The 20-year-old joined Chelsea last year from French side Stade Rennes for around €30 million (US$33.08 million) and has since made 15 appearances for the west London club.

A product of the Rennes Academy, Ugochukwu made his debut in 2021 and played 60 games in total for their first team.

“Southampton have a great history,” the France under-21 international said in a statement. “A lot of great players came here and played for Southampton, so I’m very happy to be part of the team now. It was a very easy decision.”

Southampton have also signed forward Cameron Archer from Aston Villa on a four-year contract, reportedly worth £15 million (US$19.42 million).

They visit Newcastle United in their Premier League opener on Saturday.
