Southampton new boy Lesley Ugochukwu believes he is joining a team that suits his style of play and has promised he’ll give everything for the fans of the club.
Ugochukwu joined the Saints on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea on Friday.
The 20-year-old said he is desperate to get started at St Mary’s.
“I’m very excited,” he told the club’s official website.

“I can’t wait to see the lads and see the fans, see the stadium. I’m so excited.
“I’ll give everything to the fans. I’ll show you guys my love, because you guys will also show us love this season, I’m pretty sure. So I’ll do everything, and this season we’ll do everything to win a lot of games and to stay in the league and make you guys happy and make us happy.”
The France Under-21 player added that the style of play he watched from the team last season under manager Russell Martin was a factor in his decision to come to the south coast.
“It suits me a lot,” he said. “I like to have the ball. I saw what the team did last season. Very possession-based team, that’s what I like and I think it suits me a lot.”
Ugochukwu added: “I think the Premier League is the best league in the world. Every player wants to come over here and play. I had some games last season. This season with the lads, I’m pretty sure that we will do great things. I’ll learn from them and I hope they will learn from me as well.”
