Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future Ike Ugbo showed his predatory instinct in front of goal with the winner for Chelsea in a 2-1 pre season win over Bournemouth.
Ugbo who is back at Chelsea after a fairly successful time on loan in Belgium with Cercle Brugge nodded home what ended as the decider in the 76th minute off a corner kick from Ross Barkley.
His goal will have little or no impact in his future at the club as he is presently locked in talks with Genk over a permanent transfer to the Belgium side. He is expected to replace hot in demand striker Paul Onuachu.
The move which is thought to be well advanced will be concluded in the coming weeks with Ugbo who has already filed papers for a nationality switch from England to Nigeria keen on finding a permanent home after several loan spells.
