Chelsea youngster Ugbo excited to start MK Dons adventure

Ike Ugbo has expressed his delight at joining MK Dons on loan for the rest of the season.

The 19-year-old was recalled from Barnsley by his parent club, Chelsea, yesterday.

In 18 appearances for the Championship strugglers this season, Ugbo scored just one goal.

Speaking to the MK Dons website, Ugbo said: "I'm delighted to join such a great club and I can't wait to get started.

"I've settled in well today – the players made me feel comfortable and at home.

"The players MK Dons have helped develop over the years like Dele Alli and Benik Afobe inspired me to come here.

"Hopefully I can do my best to help the team climb up the table."
