21 year old with 6 G/A on Chelsea and Strasbourg list as Emegha replacement | OneFootball

A new name has popped up in the transfer rumour sphere involving Chelsea.

Reporting for TeamTalk, Rudy Galetti, who isn’t one of the tier 1 top sources but occasionally picks up a juicy exclusive, is saying that BlueCo, that is the group which owns both Chelsea and their sister club Strasbourg, are monitoring a striker currently tearing up the Danish SuperLiga.

Young Mohamed Toure, a Guinea born Australia international, has two goals and four assists in ten games this season. Last season he racked up seven goals and three assists in 26 league games for Randers FC.

It’s an impressive record, and while the 21 year old might not be ready for Chelsea yet, it’s clear that he’s a perfect option for Strasbourg. The French side will lose their main man up front Emanuel Emegha to Chelsea next summer, and there’s even been talk that that move could be moved up to January.

“So far, the English and French clubs have only gathered information about his situation and potential availability, but both sides are expected to keep following the player carefully in the coming months,” Galetti adds.

It’s no surprise to hear that BlueCo are watching young talents like Toure then, although they’re not the only ones. Galetti claims that “alongside the BlueCo group, several clubs from England, Germany, Denmark, and even MLS and Saudi Arabia have expressed interest.”

The youngster’s priority is to stay in Europe, and Chelsea are “very much in the mix for his services.”

It will be interesting to see which way this goes next.
