Chelsea transfer news: Strasbourg star set to follow Emegha’s path to Stamford Bridge ...Middle East

The links between Chelsea and Strasbourg continue despite the anger from RCSA ultras. And after Emanuel Emegha, who has crystallised tensions, another important player from the French club could quickly head to the Premier League.

The transfer to Chelsea of the 22-year-old striker is causing controversy within the Alsatian club, specifically amongst supporters. Fans of the French outfit cannot accept that the captain has already been announced at his next club, whilst the season still needs to be played. And, more broadly, they do not appreciate Chelsea and BlueCo's stranglehold on the fourth-placed Ligue 1 side.

The situation could moreover accelerate Emanuel Emegha's departure to the Blues, according to Fabrizio Romano, who reports that an arrival in January 2026 is not ruled out.

At the same time, TBR Football reports that Chelsea have a clear plan for Ismael Doukoure. Long uncertain about his future at BlueCo, the defender eventually extended his contract by two years, until June 2028, at the end of summer 2025. A sign that the group wishes to keep him.

And whilst during the summer transfer window, several English teams tried their luck – Newcastle, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, West Ham – as well as Saudi Arabia, the France international will eventually head to Chelsea in 2026, like his captain Emanuel Emegha.

Ismael Doukoure to Chelsea Too

Indeed, according to journalist Graeme Bailey, as part of his new deal with Strasbourg, and by extension with BlueCo, Ismael Doukore has received a substantial salary increase, in addition to the assurance “that a path was open to him” to join the Blues.

Valued at £15.4m by Transfermarkt, the Frenchman should bring quite a strong profit to Strasbourg, who recruited the player from Valenciennes for £1.3m in 2022. But will this new transfer between Racing and the Blues be likely to inflame relations between supporters and management once again?
