Ugochukwu joined Chelsea from Rennes in 2023 in a £23 million move, but after featuring 15 times in his debut season, he was sent out on loan to Southampton for the following campaign.

The French Under-21 international becomes Burnley’s seventh new face of the summer, joining Max Weiss, Quilindschy Hartman, Axel Tuanzebe, Loum Tchaouna, Kyle Walker, and Jacob Bruun Larsen at the club.

His exit from Stamford Bridge adds to a growing list of summer departures, with Marc Guiu, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Noni Madueke, Joao Felix, and Djordje Petrovic also moving on.
