Genk rocked as Marseille jump into battle for Chelsea striker Ike Ugbo

Genk's move for Chelsea striker Ike Ugbo has stalled.

The centre-forward is available from Chelsea this summer and has been undergoing a medical with Genk this week.

However, negotiations have suddenly stalled, with Olympique Marseille jumping into the battle.

OM's approach has turned the head of Ugbo and he is now reconsidering his options, reports HLN's Kristof Terreur.

Genk made their move for Ugbo after seeing him enjoy an outstanding loan with Cercle Brugge last season.
