Chelsea have now confirmed late on deadline day that defender Aaron Anselmino has joined Ligue 1 club Strasbourg on loan for the remainder of the 2025/26 season.
Tosin Adarabioyo and Levi Colwill are both currently unavailable due to injuries, leaving just Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah and Benoit Badiashile as options at centre-half.
The 20-year-old, whose only appearance for his parent club since his move from Boca Juniors two years ago came in last summer’s Club World Cup, joined Dortmund in the summer and had made a positive impact over the course of his 10 appearances.
But despite the fact he did not want to make a return to Chelsea at this stage of the season, in the end of the Blues made the decision to cut the loan short at Dortmund and bring him back to help ease the issues in the back-line.
However – he was not back at the club long as CHELSEA have now decided that another loan move with French side Strasbourg would do him the world of good, the Blues posted on the club website: ‘Anselmino spent the first half of the campaign with Borussia Dortmund, making 10 appearances in all competitions before being recalled from the Bundesliga side. He will now continue his development in the French top flight.
‘Signed from Boca Juniors in August 2024, Anselmino spent the second half of the 2024/25 season with Chelsea and was part of our victorious Club World Cup squad last summer.
‘We look forward to supporting Aaron throughout his loan spell.
‘Good luck, Aaron!’
IcFootballnews Says….
The lad is really enjoying his time in the Bundesliga, he did not want to leave and hopefully he wont go back to CHELSEA and sit on the bench or play in the reserves, he needs to play on a regular basis.
He did not want to come back to Chelsea, he wanted to stay at Dortmund, so the fact that he is now back out on loan does not really make sense, as the lad was very happy in the Bundesliga.
But he should get some very good minutes at Strasbourg that is for sure.
