Anderlecht consider Chelsea's Ugbo as Lokonga replacement following Arsenal move

The forward is finally ready to leave the club that he has been at since he was 10 years old.

Anderlecht are considering Chelsea's Ike Ugbo as a replacement for Albert Lokonga who joined Arsenal for £18 million ($25m).

Fellow Belgian giants Genk are also said to be the other frontrunners for Chelsea's 22-year-old academy produced striker.

Chelsea are now considering raising the price tag beyond the initial £5 million ($6.8m) they previously set due to additional interest being received from clubs like Watford, Fulham, Bologna and Monaco.
