Chelsea have confirmed striker Ike Ugbo has joined Scunthorpe United on loan until the end of December. The Blues say Ugbo will return to the Blues in time for the New Year, with his loan contract with United ending on December 31, 2018. The 19-year-old will hope to impress and put himself in contention of featuring for the first-team upon his return in the coming months, although he does have stiff competition from Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud.
Ugbo has risen through the youth ranks to the fringes of the Chelsea first-team. He’s turned out 32 times for the u23s, scoring an impressive 15 goals, and will now look to prove his worth at a competitive level.
