Brugge for the 2020/21 campaign.

The striker, 21, has previously spent time on loan in League One, the
Championship and, most recently, the Dutch second division, where he
notched 13 goals in 28 games for Roda JC last term.
Ugbo has been on the books at Chelsea since the age of nine and proved
himself to be a prolific goalscorer in the junior teams, playing a leading
role up front as he helped fire our Under-18s to FA Youth Cup glory in
successive seasons in 2016 and 2017.

Ugbo spent last season on loan at Roda JC
His first loan move was to the Championship three summers ago at the age
of just 18 before further spells at MK Dons and Scunthorpe United. The
Lewisham-born youngster also featured in Frank Lampard's first pre-season
game in charge in Dublin last year before signing for Eerste Divisie side
Roda.
Cercle Brugge are managed by Paul Clement, formerly a coach in the Chelsea
Academy and assistant to Carlo Ancelotti at Stamford Bridge before going
on to take charge at Derby County, Swansea City and Reading.
They are two games into the new season and currently sit ninth in the
Jupiler League. Ugbo's new Chelsea contract commits him to the club until
at least 2022.
