And now Chelsea are weighing up bringing in Emegha this summer rather than leaving with Strasbourg for another year.

The Telegraph's Matt Law said on the London is Blue podcast: “I was told by someone who works around the Strasbourg end of things that they believe this guy could one day be a €50m-plus striker. I think Chelsea may be looking to do an early deal to get him in now, at a fair market value.

“Because if you do it now, you can probably get him for around—I'm guessing here—€25m (£22m). If you wait another year, you might be looking at something closer to €40m (£35m).”
