Chelsea are interested in a move for Strasbourg’s talented striker Emanuel Emegha. Chelsea may have an advantage over other clubs in the race to sign the 22-year-old attacker thanks to their owners, BlueCo, also being in charge of Strasbourg. Chelsea see Emegha as an ideal replacement option should their attempts to sign alternative strikers fail. The price tag set by Strasbourg for Emegha is €22m-25m.

Emanuel Emegha is seen as an ideal backup option for Chelsea in case their attempt to acquire Liam Delap does not succeed. Emegha transferred to Strasbourg from Sturm Graz for €13m in 2023 and is currently thriving under the guidance of Liam Rosenior, having netted seven goals in his last seven Ligue 1 matches. This achievement raises his total to 10 goals and two assists in 17 league games this season. His Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) stands at €18.2m, and considering Chelsea's ownership of Strasbourg, they could potentially secure his transfer for a favorable price this summer. Although transitioning from Ligue 1 to the Premier League can be challenging, Emegha’s impressive recent performances, his imposing height of 6ft 4in, and his capability to exploit defenses with his runs indicate that he could potentially resolve Chelsea’s issues in the centre forward position.
