Chelsea Hijack Incoming! Blues Set to Crush Everton with Monster Six-Year Deal for £21M Goal Machine in Stunning Transfer Twist

Chelsea Wreck Everton’s Striker Plans with Bold £21M Swoop for Ligue 1 Star Amid Stamford Bridge Power Play

Everton’s hopes of securing top transfer targets ahead of the summer window have suffered an early setback, with Chelsea on the verge of outmuscling them for a prized striker. With the transfer window opening on June 1st, newly appointed CEO Angus Kinnear has already promised a transformative summer at Goodison Park, noting the departure of several first-team players as contracts expire. This has placed increased urgency on the recruitment team to execute a smart and swift rebuild.

However, those plans are now under pressure as Chelsea close in on RC Strasbourg’s highly rated frontman Emanuel Emegha. The 22-year-old forward had a breakout season in Ligue 1 and was even labeled “player of the year” by some in the French press. Everton had been keen on the Dutch-born striker and were actively monitoring his progress. Yet, due to the close ties between Chelsea and Strasbourg—both owned by BlueCo—it appears the London giants have fast-tracked their move, offering a six-year deal and effectively locking in the £21 million transfer.

This move leaves Everton scrambling for alternatives. High on their list is Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap. Recent reports suggest Everton have already opened talks with the young striker, with manager David Moyes personally making a pitch to convince him to join their project. The Friedkin Group is also believed to be backing the deal, proposing a lucrative contract with a potential exit clause to sweeten the offer.

Meanwhile, Stuttgart’s towering striker Nick Woltemade, another player admired by Everton, remains a possibility—but his £37 million price tag could complicate matters. Standing at 6’6”, alongside the equally tall Delap (6’4”), it’s clear that Moyes is targeting physically dominant forwards to bolster the club’s attacking options.

With their move to the new Hill Dickinson Stadium on the horizon and competition heating up in the market, Everton face a pivotal summer that could shape the club’s trajectory for years to come.
