Strasbourg set to sign Chelsea’s Ishé Samuel-Smith | OneFootball

RC Strasbourg Alsace are set to complete the signing of another player from Chelsea, Ishé Samuel-Smith (19), according to L’Équipe.

Whilst the deal has not yet been officialised by either club, the transfer has indeed been completed, L’Équipe understands. The England youth international will sign a five-year deal with the Ligue 1 side. The left-back, who is also capable of playing at centre-back, will move for a fee of €7.5m, plus another €500,000 in bonuses. He was signed by Chelsea from Everton back in 2023 for a fee of €4.5m.

Samuel-Smith is the third player to make the move from Chelsea to Strasbourg this summer, after Mathis Amougou (permanent) and Mike Penders (loan), but he is not expected to be the last. Kendry Paez is also expected to complete a loan move. Dutch striker Emanuel Emegha, meanwhile, could move in the opposite direction, as per Sports Zone, albeit not this summer.
