Premier
Moves to Burnley
Ugochukwu completed a permanent move to Burnley from Chelsea, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Ugochukwu makes the permanent swap to Burnley, moving to a newly-promoted Premier League side for the second season in a row. The midfielder did well on loan with Southampton, and now earned a permanent move to Burnley. He scored and assisted once with Southampton, and isn't likely to produce too much more in another promoted side. Ugochukwu will likely take some minutes away from Josh Laurent in the starting XI.
