Chelsea Striker Ike Ugbo Impressing In Pre-Season Friendlies
Published: July 22, 2016
England youth international of Nigerian descent Ike Ugbo was in action as Chelsea U23s team were held to a goalless draw by RC Lens in France on Friday afternoon.
The scoreline did not reflect the hard fought game and how Chelsea came close to nicking a win, with Ugbo missing a scoring opportunity in the closing minutes.
The 17-year-old was on target last week as Chelsea came from behind to a record a 2-1 win over Charlton Athletic, and notched a brace in their 4-2 defeat to FC Nurnberg in a scrimmage held in Germany.
The Blues development squad are in France for pre-season training and will remain in the country for four days.
Adi Viveash’s side will face Reims on Sunday.
