Chelsea FC are planning for Emanuel Emegha to become part of their senior squad starting from the summer of 2026, in line with earlier reports from May.
LeadNaija learnt that the 21-year-old forward, currently at RC Strasbourg, is expected to remain with the Ligue 1 side for the 2025/26 season to continue his development before linking up with the Premier League club next year—if all goes according to plan.
While rumours have surfaced linking Emegha with a potential move to Juventus, there has been no confirmation from Chelsea or the player’s camp regarding any negotiations with the Italian giants.
Chelsea’s long-term planning reflects the club’s continued strategy of investing in young talent through their multi-club ownership model.
