Another Chelsea players linked to Strasbourg after Penders

Chelsea are set to let another of their player join their sister club Strasbourg this summer transfer window.

So far the French side has signed Chelsea players, goalkeeper Mike Penders, defender Mamadou Sarr and playmaker Kendry Paez.

The Blues have also given approval to permanent transfers, with midfielder Mathis Amougou having moved to Strasbourg despite having only signed for Chelsea in February.

A recent report via football.london disclosed that the West London club will now be selling Ishe Samuels-Smith to Ligue 1 club.

Rather than promote Samuel-Smith to backup behind defender Marc Cucurella, Chelsea are on the brink of signing Jorell Hato from Ajax.

The arrival of Hato at Chelsea will push  Samuel-Smith down the pecking order at Chelsea.

As a result, he has reached personal agreement with Strasbourg, who are allegedly paying in the region of £6.5m to get the deal done.

Samuels-Smith is expected to fly out to France to finalise a move to Stade de la Meinau.

He would be focused on breaking into Strasbourg squad, to earn a spot to play the UEFA Conference League next season.

Should he impress in the French league, Samuel-Smith could find himself again at Chelsea in future.
