Chelsea don reportedly identify one Ligue 1 teenager as potential transfer target for 2026.
The Blues dey focus now on how dem go avoid third straight defeat as dem dey prepare face League One side Lincoln City for EFL Cup third round on Tuesday night.
E fit get chance say some squad members and prospects go get opportunity for the match for Sincil Bank, because of the plenty talents wey dem don buy and develop in recent years.
But even though dem get many starlets for squad or for loan with Strasbourg, Chelsea chiefs still dey target more young players to prolong their business model.
According to Fichajes, the West London club don dey eye one 17-year-old wey dey shine for France top flight.
Who be Mohamed Kader Meite?
The report claim say Chelsea fit try run deal for Mohamed Kader Meite sometime for 2026.
Even though e never reach 18 years until next month, Kader Meite don already play 17 matches for Ligue 1.
For him last nine outings, the France Under-19 international don open him senior account against Nantes, and e don score for two different games against Lyon.
That second game against Lyon na 21-minute cameo wey include one assist, as Rennes win 3-1.
With contract wey dey tie am till 2028, Kader Meite still dey locked down for Rennes, but the club no be stranger to dey sell their prospects — including deals wey involve Chelsea.
Back in 2023, Chelsea sign Lesley Ugochukwu from Rennes, and dem also famously cash out for Eduardo Camavinga.
Right now, Kader Meite dey part of squad wey dey sit 8th for Ligue 1 table, after dem don lose just one of their opening five games for 2025-26.
Future Strasbourg signing?
Fellow BlueCo-owned club Strasbourg go soon need new striker as Emanuel Emegha don already confirm as Chelsea player for next year.
Kader Meite no get the same experience like Emegha, but Chelsea don dey use that style before — sign players from French clubs then send dem go Strasbourg.
This kind business no dey sweet Strasbourg fans at all, but e fit still make sense for Chelsea and Rennes as business move.
