Chelsea have reportedly struck an agreement with their sister club Strasbourg to sign highly-rated striker Emanuel Emegha in 2026.
The move, revealed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, will see the 21-year-old Dutch forward commit to a long-term seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
Emegha’s signing is set to spark further debate over Chelsea’s ownership structure and their controversial dealings with Strasbourg.
While the partnership between the two clubs remains completely legal, many fans continue to question the morality and competitive fairness of such arrangements.
Despite the controversy, Chelsea’s move for Emegha highlights their strategy of securing young talent for the future. The towering striker has been one of Strasbourg’s standout performers, and the Blues believe he could play a major role in their long-term project.
With the deal lined up well in advance, Chelsea supporters will now watch closely as Emegha continues his development in Ligue 1 before making the switch to the Premier League in 2026
