Galatasaray have officially completed the signing of Lesley Ugochukwu, bringing the young midfielder to Istanbul from Championship club Burnley.
The 22-year-old's stay at Turf Moor proved brief. Ugochukwu only arrived from Chelsea last summer, but Burnley's relegation has prompted a swift departure after just one season with the Clarets.
During his time at Burnley, the midfielder featured 38 times across all competitions, finding the net on three occasions while also registering one assist.
The Turkish giants have secured Ugochukwu on an initial loan that carries a €3 million fee, with a conditional purchase option worth €22.5 million set to activate should he rack up 25 appearances for Galatasaray.
