""I am very disappointed with what I saw. Seeing banners against one of the team's best players last season is unacceptable," Rosenior said, following his side's stoppage time victory over Le Havre on Sunday. "My players deserve much more. They have an impeccable mindset and do not deserve this treatment.""
""The banner in question targeted Emegha, who will remain at the French side where he is club captain, until the end of the season. The 22-year-old was a 13 million signing from Austrian outfit Sturm Graz in the summer of 2023. "Emegha, pawn of BlueCo. After changing shirt, give back your captain's armband", was the message Strasbourg fans communicated to the young forward.""
""Emegha is set to become a Blues player ahead of the 2026-27 campaign but the decision has been met with opposition by Strasbourg fans.""
Emmanuel Emegha has agreed a pre-contract to join Chelsea ahead of the 2026–27 season while remaining Strasbourg captain until the end of the current campaign. Sections of Strasbourg supporters displayed a banner calling Emegha a "pawn of BlueCo" and urging him to give back his captain's armband after changing shirt. Manager Liam Rosenior publicly condemned the banners as unacceptable and defended his players, praising their impeccable mindset. Strasbourg is owned by BlueCo, competes in Ligue 1, qualified for the 2025–26 UEFA Europa Conference League, and Emegha scored 14 goals in 27 league matches.
