With so many of our squad having been sent out on loan it isn`t possible to keep tabs on every single one of them.

Already today we`ve run an article, Click Here covering how Tammy Abraham notched his first goal in the Premier League, but Tammy wasn`t the only one of our young strikers to score his first goal of the season.

Up in South Yorkshire, 18-year-old Ike Ugbo is also sampling life on a season long loan spell, with Barnsley.

Last season Ugbo scored a very impressive 25 times netting for various Chelsea development teams.

On Saturday, playing for Barnsley, against Sunderland, Ugbo netted his first goal for the club, scoring after 31 minutes in what was a convincing 3-0 win for Barnsley.

Talking to the media about getting off the mark, Ugbo is quoted in the press as having remarked,

“It is a big jump coming from Under-23`s but I think I am developing as a player and the manager is helping me find my feet and find my form.”

It`ll be interesting, as the season progresses, to see who out of Abraham and Ugbo who scores the most goals.

Which of the two would you put your money on?
