Left hand down right hand 😁 Team report: Chelsea officially announced Strasbourg defender Sal in a few hours

The Team News reported that Chelsea will officially announce Mamadu Sal in a few hours.

19-year-old French central defender Saar previously played for Lyon. Strasbourg spent 10 million euros to sign him last summer, and next he will transfer to Chelsea, which is the same boss as Strasbourg.

The Team News disclosed that the Blues will officially sign the new star in the next few hours. The deal that was finalized last winter window has finally settled. The tall and long-legged defender will complete an internal transfer with BlueCo Group. After a brief rest, Saar will usher in a turning point in mid-June, first meeting with his new teammates, and then going to the United States to participate in the Club World Cup. Thanks to FIFA's relaxation of the roster restrictions (allowing 26-35 players to be registered), Chelsea management hopes to take this opportunity to examine the new French aid. Although the board recognizes its potential, coach Maresca's team will conduct a comprehensive assessment of it in the coming weeks.

The summer transfer window will determine where he will go next season, either staying in the team to compete in the Premier League or renting back to Strasbourg. Saar performed well in Strasbourg last season, starting all 27 games in the league, with a total of 2368 minutes, making an important contribution to the team's solid defense line.
