Chelsea’s new signing, Emmanuel Emegha, was reportedly being considered by Barcelona as a potential centre-forward. According to SPORT, the Dutch striker drew admiration from Deco, who saw him as an option for the Spanish club.
Standing at 1.96 meters, Emegha impressed in his first season with RC Strasbourg, scoring 14 goals and providing three assists in 27 appearances. His performances have highlighted his potential as a rising talent in European football.
Chelsea have agreed to sign the 22-year-old striker for the next season. He will, however, remain in Ligue 1 for the remainder of the current campaign before moving to London to join the Premier League side.
The transfer is viewed as a strategic move by Chelsea to secure young talent before they reach their peak, aiming to benefit both on the field and financially. It is yet to be determined whether Emegha will stay at Stamford Bridge next season or be sent out on loan, following the pattern of recent Chelsea acquisitions.
