At RC Strasbourg, newly appointed club captain Emanuel Emegha (196cm/6’5”, 83kg/182 lbs) is going through his final pre-season preparations as he gets ready to lead his club into the new season.
They intend to compete domestically and in Europe, with UEFA Conference League football on the cards should they make it through their play-off.
Meanwhile, across the British Channel, the fiercest transfer battle dominating media coverage sees Manchester United and Newcastle United vying for the signature of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško (195cm/6’5”, 85kg/187 lbs).
This led us to a search for cheaper alternatives to the Slovenian attacker, which proved tough given that it’s quite late in the 2025 summer transfer window and many of the better ‘cheap alternative’ options have already been snapped up.
Realistic and worthwhile alternatives are few and far between.
We conducted a search focusing on strikers who’ve accumulated a decent number of minutes, like Šeško, in Europe’s top-five leagues over the past calendar year.
We focused on finding clinical forwards who also provide an aerial threat.
In the end, we ruled out some on our shortlist due to age, injury-proneness or a current injury.
We landed on Emanuel Emegha of RC Strasbourg in Ligue 1 as the best potential alternative.
Emegha is currently valued at €25m by Transfermarkt, which is €45m less than Šeško.
He remains an unlikely target, due to his prominent role at Strasbourg and the Alsace club’s status as being part of the same ownership group as Chelsea, the BlueCo.
Nevertheless, we anticipate seeing Emegha’s name pop up in transfer discussions around centre-forwards in upcoming transfer windows, too, especially if Chelsea need to boost their firepower up front, with Stamford Bridge presumably the most likely future destination for the 22-year-old.
This Emanuel Emegha scout report and player analysis piece outlines the thriving Emanuel Emegha role within Liam Rosenior Strasbourg tactics.
We’ll outline the Netherlands U21 international’s key strengths and weaknesses, showcasing why he could be a very in-demand striker in the near future.
In a season in which Paris Saint-Germain won every available trophy except the FIFA Club World Cup, the question of improvement might seem almost redundant.
This is a team whose domestic dominance has long been established.
Yet, the 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan in the 2024/2025 UEFA Champions League Final signalled a new era of continental authority, and they delivered their first Champions League title.
At the heart of this campaign stood Gianluigi Donnarumma, whose performances throughout the European run rekindled memories of his heroic displays at the European Championship in 2020.
Once questioned, his reputation appeared resurgent; his shot-stopping and command of the area played a big part in PSG’s Champions League campaign.
But in a move that has surprised many, PSG have opted to sign Lucas Chevalier from Lille, who is set to be the new number one.
Is this the result of a contractual impasse, or does it suggest a strategic adjustment?
What does Chevalier bring to the table that Donnarumma, for all his stature and experience, does not?
This player analysis explores the rationale behind Chevalier’s selection as PSG’s new first-choice goalkeeper.
