Chelsea are close to reaching an agreement with Strasbourg striker Emanuel Emegha over personal terms, for a move next summer according to reports.
The Blues have been busy this summer and have already made three attacking signings in Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens.
Chelsea are also close to completing deals for Dutch duo Xavi Simons and Jorrel, with negotiations for both players said to be at the final stages.
Chelsea close to personal terms agreement with Emegha
The Blues attack has undergone somewhat of a revamp this summer, with likely four new signings, plus Estevao Willian joining.
Joao Felix and Noni Madueke have both left, whilst Christopher Nkunku is expected to depart, with there question marks over the future of Nicolas Jackson.
Any more attacking additions this summer are likely to require Jackson leaving, which at this stage is far from guaranteed.
Chelsea have been previously linked with Emegha, with a view to the striker joining the club in 2026, and there’s now been an update Sports Zone.

Nicolas Jackson facing uncertain future
With Emegha possibly arriving in 2026, that could raise further doubt over the future of Jackson, who’s been linked with a number of teams.
Aston Villa, Manchester United and Newcastle are said to be amongst the interested team, whilst there’s also believed to be interest from Juventus.
Jackson has insisted he wants to remain at Chelsea and fight for his place, but if a big offer came in it would be interesting to see what the Blues would do.
We delighted to hear that chelsea will sign xavi simons.
