Chelsea and Strasbourg plan third deal this summer

Since Lanke Group completed its acquisition in 2022, a stable player flow mechanism has been formed between Chelsea and Strasbourg. According to several British media confirmed that 18-year-old Blues youth training player Antway is expected to transfer to the Ligue 1 club before the summer window is closed. Antway, who plays as right back, was born in Stockholm. He immigrated to England at the age of 11 and joined the Chelsea youth training camp. He made two appearances for the first team in the European League last season. Because the team has mature players such as James and Gustow, and the rookie Achimpon performed well in the central defender position in the opening game, the young player who just turned 18 was looking for more opportunities to play.

sources revealed that Antve appeared at the Strasbourg training base last week for inspection. The two clubs are both under Lanke Group, and the transfer negotiations have now entered the in-depth stage. This will be the third deal between the two teams this summer after central defender Saar's leaseback and Smith's permanent transfer.

In recent years, Chelsea and Strasbourg have established multi-directional talent exchange channels. Rising stars such as Santos and Angero have been loaned to Ligue 1 to level up, and goalkeeper Petrovic has also achieved a leap in value through the tempering of Strasbourg, and finally transferred to Bournemouth in a profitable form. It is worth mentioning that Matis Amuku, who joined Chelsea from Saint-Etienne in February this year, moved to Strasbourg for permanently after staying at Stamford Bridge for only four months.

It is worth noting that Antvi, who has Ghanaian ancestry, has played for England and Swedish youth teams. If the transfer is completed, it will be the latest case in the Chelsea youth training monetization chain. Financial data shows that in the past three years, the club has made a total profit of about 250 million pounds by selling local youth training players, continuing to feed back to the team's investment attraction system.
