What Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino said about Lesley Ugochukwu?

Lesley Ugochukwu has completed a transfer to Chelsea. The young defensive midfielder has arrived from Ligue 1 side Stade Rennes. He has penned a seven-year-long deal at Stamford Bridge.

New manager Mauricio Pochettino gave his first thoughts on completing the 19-year-old's signature. The Argentine manager said that the team will assess Ugochukwu ahead of the upcoming season (via the Blues' website):

"Today is going to be his first training session with us. He is a young and talented player. We don’t know if we have the possibility for him to play tomorrow but we will assess him."

Pochettino added that a formal decision regarding whether Ugochukwu will stay at the club or leave on loan is yet to be taken:

"Now it is time to assess him until the end of the transfer window and see if he is going to be with us or go on loan."

Ugochukwu was a key player for Rennes last season, making 35 appearances across competitions, providing an assist. Fans will keep an eye on the defensive midfielder's immediate future.
