Crystal Palace have joined Chelsea in the race for young striker. The player has been in very good form this season. He has 17 goal contributions to his name.
Chelsea are planning to sign another striker this summer. Nicolas Jackson started the season on a very good note. But, he has failed to stay consistent. As a result, it has costed the Blues and they are now ready to bring in a new striker.
The Blues will be willing to sign a young striker. This has been their top hiring criteria ever since takeover. As of now, they are linked with multiple strikers across whole Europe. One of them is Emanuel Emegha of Strasbourg.
Emegha is 22 years old Dutch striker who has impressed everyone in Ligue 1 this season. He has scored 14 goals and picked 3 assists in 29 games. As a result, he is being linked with multiple top clubs who think that the striker has a very bright future ahead of him.
Crystal Palace join the race for Emegha
Chelsea are keen to sign Emegha as their new striker this summer. But, they are not the only club showing interest in Dutch striker. According to Alan Nixon, Palace have joined the race for Emegha. They view him as a perfect replacement for Jean-Phillipe Mateta.
Mateta has been superb for Palace this season. As a result, he is heavily linked with a move away to a bigger club. Palace will then need to find a perfect replacement for him as soon as possible. Emegha can be a very good long-term replacement.
However, it will not be easy for Palace to land Emegha above Chelsea if they are serious about him. Strasbourg is the sister club of Chelsea and hence the Blues will have an advantage in the race. The 22 year old will cost around £30 million.
