The Blues are in the market for a new forward and could have the perfect candidate in the Ligue 1 star
Chelsea are eyeing a summer move for Nigerian-born Dutch striker Emanuel Emegha, as the club looks to bolster its frontline with youthful firepower.
The 22-year-old has turned heads in Ligue 1 this season, catching Chelsea’s attention with his standout performances for RC Strasbourg.

With 14 goals in Ligue 1 this season, the tall and athletic forward has played a crucial role in pushing Strasbourg toward Champions League qualification, and it is no surprise, then, that Chelsea have come knocking.
According to Foot Mercato, the Blues have already initiated talks with Emegha, who is reportedly keen on the move.
The Premier League has long been a dream destination for the Dutch international hopeful, and a transfer to Stamford Bridge could also boost his chances of breaking into the senior Netherlands squad.
Chelsea ahead of competition for Emegha signing
What makes this deal even more feasible is Chelsea’s shared ownership of Strasbourg through the BlueCo group, which could ensure smooth negotiations between the clubs.
However, Chelsea may have to act fast, as Newcastle United have also been linked with the forward, potentially driving up the price.
Emegha’s Premier League dream might just come true this summer, and Chelsea appear well-placed to make it happen. With his form and potential, the Blues might just be landing a future star.
