Chelsea FC on Wednesday confirmed two transfer updates involving Lesley Ugochukwu and Marc Guiu, as the club continues to reshape its squad ahead of the new season.
In an official statement on their website, the Blues revealed that midfielder Ugochukwu has completed a permanent move to Premier League side Burnley, ending his two-year spell at Stamford Bridge.
Ugochukwu, who joined from Rennes in 2023, made 15 appearances in his debut season with Chelsea before spending the 2024/25 season on loan at Southampton.
Meanwhile, 19-year-old striker Marc Guiu has sealed a season-long loan move to Sunderland. The Spanish forward, who joined Chelsea from Barcelona, featured 16 times last season and netted six goals during the club’s UEFA Conference League-winning campaign.
Guiu also played a role in Chelsea’s FIFA Club World Cup victory, appearing in the final against Paris Saint-Germain, where the Blues were crowned champions.
This development follows Chelsea’s earlier transfer moves involving Mamadou Sarr and Leo Castledine, both of whom secured transfers last week.
