Chelsea striker Ike Ugbo delighted with Roda goalscoring form

Chelsea striker Ike Ugbo is delighted with his goalscoring form with loan club Roda JC.

Ugbo already has nine goals for the Eerste Divisie outfit.

He told chelseafc.com, "Starting off this season, I knew I had to showcase myself and show people the skills and qualities that I have, especially after the last loan spells where I didn't achieve the performances that I wanted. I feel I've started the season well.

"I'm aiming to get 20 goals, keep going, keep the performances up. I've had two seasons now where I haven't shown my best so I want to just finish the season strong and be in a good place."

Ugbo added: "Those loans taught me a lot and they've made me turn into more of a man to be honest. When I went on my first loan from the Under-23s to the Championship, it was a big jump and I was a bit disappointed as a striker not getting the goals that I wanted. The best thing for me at the start of this season was coming abroad, showing what I've learned on my previous loans and showing the qualities that I still have."
