Ike Ugbo could be the latest youth prospect heading out the exit door at Stamford Bridge in this summer’s transfer window with Italian outfit Salernitana nearing their agreement for his transfer.
The newly-promoted club in the Serie A have made the move to sign the highly-promising Chelsea attacking talent and look set to land his signature, according to reports from Alfredo Pedullà.
Ugbo was a major presence for Belgian club Cercle Bruges last season while on his loan stint away from Chelsea as he brought up incredible numbers of 16 goals in 32 outings in the Jupiler Pro League.
Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea camp have shipped out a host of young talents over the course of this summer window currently underway with the notable departure being that of Billy Gilmour who has made the move to Premier League new boys Norwich City in a season-long loan deal.
Gilmour’s time away from Stamford Bridge for the upcoming season is largely seen by Tuchel as a measure to ensure that the Scottish international earn regular minutes on the football pitch to further his development.
