Despite a plethoric workforce, Chelsea lacks a business scorer. If Nicolas Jackson has scored a dozen first league goals, that Christopher Nkunku sometimes evolves in this position and that the attacking midfielder Cole Palmer is the top scorer in the Blues, Enzo Maresca does not have a real 9 capable of putting the Senegalese striker in competition. Quickly during the spring, the quest for a n ° 9 was erected as a priority within the London club. And fashionable scorers have necessarily been directly or indirectly associated with Chelsea in recent weeks, whether Viktor Gyökeres or Victor Osimhen.
Between the strong competition raging for the first and the enormous wage requests of the second, the current 5th of the Premier League skied in his quest for offensive reinforcement. But for a few weeks, a name has gained momentum in the London club, namely that of the striker of Strasbourg Emmanuel Emegha. Chelsea, who shares the same owner (the Blueco Consortium) as the RC Strasbourg, closely follows the performances of the Dutch international hope which breaks the barrack in Ligue 1 for a few months after a first contrasted season in Alsace. Current 5th top scorer in Ligue 1 with 14 goals, the former terrible child of The Hague impresses and seems to have a sacred margin of progression.
Chelsea impressed by Emegha's performance in Strasbourg
The fastest player in Ligue 1 (he was flashed at 37.72 km/h), Emegha is a powerful attacker, capable of repeating the desire for sprints per match (25 on average per game while the average for a Ligue 1 attacker is only 10), with a technique quite remarkable for his slender profile (1.95m), the native of Den Haag weighs on the defenses and is generous effort. So many qualities that make one think of Chelsea decision -makers, impressed by his performance and spectacular progress, that the former Sturm Graz player, bought € 13 million during the summer of 2023, has his place in the Blues.
According to our information, discussions have even already taken place between the player and the London club around a long -term contract. Negotiations between the two clubs should not pose any problems thanks to their parentage, and that many operations already take place. It remains to know the conditions for an operation which should bring big to the RCSA. Bought € 13 million in 2023, Emegha, which is in the form of his life, is now estimated at more than € 20 million on TransferMarkt. There is no doubt that the arrival in the file of another English club (the name of Newcastle is mentioned) also interested could raise the auctions. As for the player, he has never hidden his desire to evolve in the Premier League, which is more in Chelsea. This could allow him to evolve in a national team, a selection which refuses to him in recent months despite his great performances in Ligue 1…
