Chelsea are keeping tabs on a shortlist of strikers to bolster Enzo Maresca's attack.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Strasbourg youngster Emanuel Emegha has emerged as a contender after ending the season with 14 Ligue 1 goals.
Emegha is valued by Transfermarkt at around £17million, and the Blues could strike a pre-agreement with the BlueCo-owned club for the player to join in 2026.
Stamford Bridge bosses are also believed to be keen on £84m-rated Hugo Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt, and Liam Delap, who has a £30m release clause in his Ipswich contract.
