Chelsea striker Ike Ugbo in financial limbo at Roda JC

Chelsea loanee Ike Ugbo is in financial limbo at Roda JC.

NRC says the club want to use his wages to spread across the rest of the squad, instead of their star loanee.

Ugbo earns about ten times what his team-mates take home and the coaches would rather have one angry unpaid player than several.

Fingers are being pointed at investor Mauricio Garcia de la Vega, who the club are desperate to get rid of after he attempted to take over the club last summer.

Ugbo, 21, has scored four goals on loan in the second tier of the Dutch pyramid.
