Ishe Samuels-Smith, a 19-year-old English defender currently in Chelsea, is likely to join the Strasbourg club this summer. The information, relayed by L’Equipe, indicates that the transfer would be final and estimated at around 6 million euros. Formed in Everton, Samuels-Smith joined Chelsea in the summer of 2023 for 4 million euros. Polyvalent, it is mainly a left side, although it can also evolve in central defence.

Despite its recognized potential, the young English international under 19 has not yet had the opportunity to play with Chelsea’s first team. Its current goal is to find a regular playing time in order to continue its progress. The potential transfer to Strasbourg represents an opportunity for him to flourish in Ligue 1 and to compete with Diego Moreira in his post.

Discussions between Chelsea and Strasbourg are under way to try to achieve this transfer in the coming days. Ishe Samuels-Smith would be particularly interested in this opportunity in France, which would allow him to gain experience and develop fully. His arrival would strengthen the left corridor of the Strasbourg team and offer an interesting alternative for the coach.
