Overview

  • Chelsea announced a pre-agreement to sign Emanuel Emegha with the 22-year-old scheduled to join in July 2026 on a seven-year contract.
  • Emegha will remain at Strasbourg for the 2025–26 season as club captain and lead their UEFA Conference League campaign.
  • The Netherlands youth international scored 14 goals with three assists in 27 Ligue 1 matches last season and has started this season strongly.
  • Talks have been ongoing since May, with multiple reports saying Chelsea saw off interest from Premier League and Champions League clubs.
  • Both clubs are owned by BlueCo, and the transfer extends a run of player moves between them that has drawn renewed questions about competitive fairness.
