Prolific Nigerian Striker Nominated For Chelsea Goal Of The Month Award For April

One of the goals scored by Ike Ugbo is in the running to be named Chelsea's Goal of the Month for April 2017.

The five-goal shortlist include strikes from the Chelsea youth-teamer, Marcos Alonso, Nemanja Matic, Diego Costa and Pedro.

Ugbo scored a stunning overhead kick in the final second leg of the FA Youth Cup against Manchester City, and first team coach Antonio Conte, who was in the stands, had a smile on his face after the goal.

This season, the former England U17 international has netted 25 goals in all competitions, including his strike in a 2-1 loss to Derby County in Premier League 2 on Friday.

Before Ugbo made his mark as a prolific striker, he used to play in midfield for Chelsea.
