Burnley have completed the signing of French midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu from Chelsea for a fee of more than £20m. The 21-year-old has signed a five-year deal at Turf Moor. BBC Sport understands the fee is similar to the £23.2m Chelsea paid to sign Ugochukwu from Rennes in 2023.

Ugochukwu spent two years at Chelsea, making 15 appearances. Last season, he was on-loan with Southampton.

Burnley added some much-needed bolstering to their midfield ranks last night when they confirmed the capture of Lesley Ugochukwu.
