BBC: Emmega is one of the reasons why Chelsea did not sign Drapp s replacement and let Jackson go

September 15th According to the BBC, Chelsea reached a pre-joining agreement with Strasbourg striker Emergha last weekend. However, by next spring, it will be difficult for Ligue 1 clubs to retain the 22-year-old Dutch striker, which is one of the reasons why the Blues did not sign Drapp's replacement, let Nicholas Jackson go and recall Jiwu from Sunderland.

Emega's contract with Strasbourg will expire in 2028, and Chelsea started negotiations several months ago to compete with Premier League and Championship clubs.

After Strasbourg entered the European arena for the first time in 10 years, Emerga was awarded the captain's armband. Strasbourg hopes he can stay in the team until next summer and hone his skills, striving to enter the Netherlands' squad for the World Cup. Meanwhile, Emmega has become part of Chelsea's long-term plan. Last weekend, the Blues and Ligue 1 clubs quickly finalized the deal in 48 hours, based on the ownership relationship between the two clubs. It is reported that Emega will sign a contract with Chelsea for 7 years.
