Chelsea plans to bring Strasbourg winger Gessime Yassine to Stamford Bridge in a future transfer window, according to TEAMtalk. The report says the 20-year-old is comfortable with the prospect, although the timing of a move remains undecided.

Graeme Bailey reports that Chelsea and owner BlueCo are pleased with Yassine’s progress in France and see him as a future addition to the squad. A transfer in 2027 is one possibility, but the club could allow him to remain at Strasbourg for longer.

Brighton, Newcastle United, Sunderland, Brentford, Everton and Nottingham Forest are also said to be monitoring the winger. Chelsea’s shared ownership with Strasbourg provides a direct connection, though the report does not set out an agreed transfer fee or a completed deal.

Yassine joined Strasbourg from Dunkerque in January and signed a contract until 2030. His move followed a strong spell in Ligue 2, where he helped Dunkerque finish fourth and reach the Coupe de France semifinals during the 2024-25 season.

He was also part of Morocco’s team that won the Under-20 World Cup in 2025, contributing two goals and three assists. At the time of his move to Strasbourg, he led Ligue 2 with six assists that season.

His ability to beat defenders has continued to stand out at the higher level. Ahead of Strasbourg’s game against Paris Saint-Germain last weekend, he had completed 20 of 42 attempted dribbles in Ligue 1. Both figures reflected his growing role in the attack, with his successful take-ons already double his total from the previous campaign.

Yassine has made progress internationally as well. He scored in Morocco’s 4-2 World Cup victory over Haiti in June, helping secure a place in the knockout stages.

With several wide players already at Chelsea, the report points to a flexible timetable. Staying at Strasbourg would allow Yassine to build on his first full Ligue 1 season before a potential move to London.
