Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu from Rennes for €27m (£23.1m).

The Blues are yet to decide whether the 19-year-old will go into Mauricio Pochettino’s first-team squad or go out on loan.

A temporary move to Strasbourg, the Ligue 1 side in which Chelsea own a majority stake, has been mooted.

Ugochukwu has also agreed personal terms with Chelsea and will sign a long-term contract with the west London club.

It is undecided at this stage whether Ugochukwu will go straight into the first-team squad or go on loan.

Ugochukwu made 35 appearances for Rennes last season.

Chelsea have already signed France international Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal and Brazilian winger Angelo Gabriel this summer while there have been a number of outgoings.

One source had told Sky Sports News that Brighton value Caicedo, who was signed from Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valle for £4.5m in 2021, in the same bracket as Arsenal’s record signing Declan Rice and will look to get in the region of £100m for him.

It is thought Chelsea were getting encouragement that the 21-year-old would join them if a deal can be agreed between the clubs, with personal terms not expected to be a problem.
