"Obviously, Chelsea are probably frontrunners due to their relationship with Strasbourg as both clubs are owned by Blue Co. You're probably looking between 20-25million for Doue in his current form. He's under contract with the French club until 2029, so they're under no real pressure to sell him just now as well. They are looking to add more quality and depth to the full back areas, and Doue would be a solid long-term investment."
"Regular football in England could help him improve further and fulfil his potential. Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have done well in grooming young players in the past. They could play a key role in his development. The 23-year-old will be excited to take on a new challenge at this stage of his career, and he will hope that the two clubs can finalise a deal."
Chelsea intend to pursue 23-year-old Guela Doue from Strasbourg during the January transfer window. Both clubs are owned by BlueCo, which positions Chelsea as likely frontrunners and may ease negotiations. Scouts have attended matches to monitor Doue, who excels as a full-back in France. Doue is contracted to Strasbourg until 2029, reducing immediate selling pressure. Strasbourg would likely seek around 20–25 million for the defender. Regular Premier League football could accelerate his development, and Chelsea view the move as a long-term investment to add quality and depth at full-back.
