Chelsea confirm Omari Kellyman's move to Strasbourg as more exits loom

Midfielder Omari Kellyman has permanently joined RC Strasbourg from Chelsea, with several other players expected to leave before the window closes.

Chelsea announced the permanent transfer of Omari Kellyman to RC Strasbourg, a move that may feature a future buyback clause for the London club. Kellyman, who arrived from Aston Villa in 2024 and spent the previous season on loan at Cardiff City, helped the Welsh side earn promotion to the Championship. The French club is also expected to receive striker Deivid Washington, and Dario Essugo is another potential addition.

As the transfer window nears its close, Chelsea anticipate further exits, with Mykhailo Mudryk possibly heading out on loan, Liam Delap in talks with Nottingham Forest, and Mamadou Sarr set for a season-long loan to Real Sociedad. Defenders Axel Disasi and forward Marc Guiu are linked with Crystal Palace and Napoli respectively, while Nicolas Jackson remains available for a suitable offer, and Manchester City are reportedly eyeing Enzo Fernandez.

Why it matters

Chelsea's roster changes could reshape the squad and affect player development ahead of the new season.
