Strasbourg have signed Chelsea attacker Omari Kellyman on a permanent deal.

The move is the 20th transfer between the two clubs since they came under the same American ownership group, BlueCo. It includes a buyback clause and is expected to be the first of three deals between the clubs this week.

Chelsea striker Deivid Washington is also set to join the French side in a similar arrangement. And either midfielder Dario Essugo or winger Mykhailo Mudryk could also join Strasbourg on loan.

Kellyman, 20, joined Chelsea from Aston Villa for £19m in 2024.

However, a series of hamstring injuries disrupted his time at Stamford Bridge and he did not make a first-team appearance.

Kellyman enjoyed a successful loan spell at League One side Cardiff City as they achieved promotion back to the Championship last season.
