Additionally, the London-based club has agreed to offer Ugochukwu a long-term contract, signifying their belief in his immense potential and commitment to nurturing young talent within the ranks of Chelsea’s esteemed academy.

Despite this impressive acquisition, the question of Ugochukwu’s immediate future at Chelsea remains uncertain.

The final decision will be made in collaboration with Thomas Tuchel and PSG manager, Mauricio Pochettino, who is known for his astute development of young players.
