Chelsea midfielder, Lesley Ugochukwu, is set to go on loan to Southampton.
According to The Athletic, it will be a season-long loan.
With Enzo Maresca inheriting a bloated squad, Ugochukwu will be sent out to get more playing time.
Ugochukwu signed for Chelsea last summer from Rennes for a £23.5m fee.
The 20-year-old made 13 appearances under Mauricio Pochettino last season.
However, Ugochukwu missed virtually the entire second half of the campaign with a hamstring injury.
He did return for the final few games of the campaign.
