Chelsea have already made use of their close relationship with Strasbourg on several occasions.
In addition to hiring Liam Rosenior, the Blues have signed Mamadou Sarr and Emmanuel Emegha from the French club.
Chelsea have also sent multiple players on loan to Strasbourg, such as Mike Penders and Kendry Paez.
So it would not be surprising to see them take advantage of the link again in the January transfer window.
Here are three players the new Chelsea manager, Rosenior, could sign from Strasbourg soon.

Valentin Barco
Valentin Barco was always likely to end up at Chelsea after signing for Strasbourg from Brighton last summer.
The 21-year-old already has Premier League experience, and many Seagulls fans were disappointed to see him leave.
He can play as a left wing-back or as a central midfielder, two positions where Chelsea could benefit from having another body.
Therefore, it would be a sensible signing for Rosenior to make in the January window or at the end of the season.

Joaquin Panichelli
Joaquin Panichelli seems unlikely to sign for Chelsea because the club have already agreed a deal with Strasbourg’s other striker, Emmanuel Emegha.
However, Liam Delap has not hit the ground running at Stamford Bridge, and Joao Pedro is probably best as a number 10, so there may be room for both.
Panichelli has scored 10 goals in 17 Ligue 1 games this season and is now part of the Argentine national team setup.
Especially if Rosenior prefers him to Emegha, a move to Stamford Bridge cannot be ruled out.
Who has been the worst signing of the Todd Boehly era at Chelsea? đź‘Ž
Raheem Sterling, Mykhailo Mudryk and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang all have to be contenders…

Julio Enciso
Julio Enciso has not earned a move to Chelsea with his performances for Strasbourg this season.
Despite scoring twice in the Conference League, he has no goals or assists in 10 league games.
However, he would make sense as a replacement for Facundo Buonanotte, who has not yet made an impression at Chelsea.
Enciso is a similar player, and the Blues would have no problem signing him to a permanent deal, whereas Buonanotte is only on loan.
