Chelsea Football Club has indeed agreed to sign striker Emmanuel Emegha from Ligue 1 side RC Strasbourg, with the deal set to be completed in July 2026. The transfer was announced by Chelsea on September 12, 2025, with Emegha expected to join the club on July 1, 2026.
Emegha is a 22-year-old Dutch professional footballer who plays as a forward for Strasbourg. Born in the Netherlands to a Togolese father and Nigerian mother, he has represented the Netherlands at youth international level.
Emegha has been impressive in Ligue 1, scoring 14 goals in 27 appearances for Strasbourg in the 2024-25 season. He’s also been named Strasbourg’s captain following the transfer of former captain Habib Diarra.
This signing could be a strategic move by Chelsea to bolster their attacking options, especially considering the current striker dilemma.
