Emanuel Emegha is set to join Chelsea in 2026 from RC Strasbourg

Chelsea have reached an agreement with their sister club RC Strasbourg to sign Emanuel Emegha, with the striker joining in 2026 on a seven-year contract.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the 22-year-old had been linked with an exit this summer but was reportedly keen to stay at Strasbourg and lead them into Europe.

The Dutchman started his professional career at Sparta Rotterdam in 2020. He played 16 matches in his first season. In the 2021/22 season, he appeared in every match until January.

On 31 January 2022, Emegha signed a five-year contract with Royal Antwerp in Belgium.

In August 2022, after having played only a few minutes for Antwerp, he moved to Sturm Graz in Austria and signed a contract for four years there.

In the summer of 2023, Emegha signed for Strasbourg on a four-year contract.

The Netherlands international was named Strasbourg captain following the transfer of former captain Habib Diarra on 27 July, 2025.

He has already recorded 26 goals and five assists in 64 outings for Strasbourg.

Last season, he scored 14 goals and provided three assists in 27 appearances in Ligue 1 in a successful season for the Meiselocker.

He has hit the ground running since the start of the season with three goals in four games.

The striker is yet to be capped for the senior Netherlands national team but has made six appearances for the U-21s, finding the back of the net twice.
