BlueCo purchased a majority stake in French club RC Strasbourg in 2023. Since its acquisition, business between the two clubs has become a common event. This summer, Chelsea<\/a> have already moved five players to the Ligue 1 side, either on loan or permanently. And another one could be on the horizon.<\/p>\n

Mike Penders, Mamadou Sarr, and Kendry Paez moved to France on season-long loans, while Ishe Samuels-Smith and Mathis Amougou moved on a permanent basis. And recent reports suggest that another transfer between these two clubs may be in the works.<\/p>\n

Genesis Antwi is regarded as one of Chelsea’s most promising academy prospects. He has been with Chelsea since the age of 11, and made his first-team debut in March of this year.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old Sweden youth international has been a standout at the youth and developmental levels for Chelsea. He most recently assisted in their 3-1 win over Manchester City in Premier League 2.<\/p>\n

Antwi can play in a variety of roles but he excels as a right-back. That is a position where Reece James, Malo Gusto and Josh Acheampong feature in the first-team. Therefore, he may find it difficult to get into the Blues’ senior team this season or in the future.<\/p>\n

According to a post on X by The Chelsea Spot<\/a>, RC Strasbourg are in talks with the Blues for Antwi. The player and his family already visited the training ground last week and discussions are set to continue.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old will want to gain as much first-team football as possible at this point in his career, and he has a better chance of getting playing time at Strasbourg than at Chelsea. Now, it remains to be seen if a move to the French Ligue 1 side ends up materialising or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BlueCo purchased a majority stake in French club RC Strasbourg in 2023.
