CONFIRMED: Saints sign Lesley Ugochukwu on loan

Never heard of him, to be honest.

 

Very talented. Similar type of player to Lavia. Hopefully he can be as good as he was for us.

 

Ok, necessary if not exciting.

 

Played almost 50 times in Ligue 1 as a teenager for Rennes before Chelsea spent £23m on him last summer. Must be a pretty talented lad.

Good use of a loan spot to add depth in DM.

 

Right, I'll do the honours then... clips of him playing in England here

 

Can he speak Turkish?

 

Strong, quick, good on the ball. Yep, feels like another Lavia type player. Difference is we don't get the big fee at the end of the season.

 

Is that because you've never heard of him?

 

Yep, stand down, wasn’t a dig. Is what it is. We need cover. I assume the quality is there being Chelsea and he’s in their plans.

 

Saint Lesley? Ding dong!

 

Meant to be v good. Happy with this one. Though it won’t happen as we’ve done a Saint! Thread.

 

6ft 3 and played in the French Olympic team.

 

I concur, never even heard of him

 

I think he'll play more than just being cover. I'm excited about him and Downes in the middle of the park.

 

Looks bloody massive. Will give us a much needed physical presence. Quite like a player that is able to ping an accurate long pass to stretch an opponent too.

 

Him Downes and Aribo would give most midfields a good scrap! All very strong in their own way.

 

From the little I’ve read about him sounds promising and what we need. If we play with 3 in midfield can see him being one of the first choice 3 with Downes and Smallbone

 

We definitely needed an enforcer and he looks like one. Can’t be a bad signing.

 

Martin will get him to stop doing that immediately
