The Nigeria descent has explained some decisions he made during the summer transfer window before leaving Stamford Bridge permanently
Genk striker Ike Ugbo said he turned down an offer to join Ligue 1 club Marseille because he thought it might have been a mistake for his career.
The 22-year-old returned to Belgium in August after spending the entire 2020-21 season on loan at Cercle Brugge.
A move to Marseille could have given Ugbo the chance of playing against six-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi, who moved to PSG in August, but the former Chelsea youngster said he opted to join the Smurfs on a four-year deal because of the assurances he got from the club management.
