Chelsea plot long-term move for Dutch striker Emanuel Emegha

The 22-year-old, who has emerged as a key figure for Strasbourg since joining in 2023, has attracted Chelsea's attention as they continue to build a future-focused squad.

Emegha has enjoyed a standout season in Ligue 1, notching 14 goals and spearheading his club's push for European qualification. His contributions have cemented his place at the heart of the team's plans.

Strasbourg are determined to keep hold of him for the upcoming campaign, particularly as they prepare to compete on the continental stage.

While Chelsea are keen to secure his services, there is no chance of the player leaving this summer. Instead, the London club are exploring the possibility of a pre-agreement that would pave the way for his arrival in 2026, when Strasbourg are more likely to consider offers.

Emegha's name now joins the list of emerging players linked with Chelsea's long-term project, alongside the likes of Kendry Paez and Estevao Willian.
