Chelsea are reportedly showing an interest in bringing Diego Moreira back to the club after his impressive form at fellow BlueCo club Strasbourg. The 21-year-old has shown immense potential with his performances in Ligue 1 so far this season, contributing one goal and two assists so far. That goal and one of those assists came against Paris Saint-Germain, with Moreira causing the reigning European champions plenty of problems with his intelligent play.

PSG struck after just six minutes when Barcola slotted the ball past Mike Penders after a neat pass from Desire Doue, but the latter's brother Guela provided the assist for Strasbourg's equaliser as his cross was headed in by Panichelli. Julio Enciso was causing a lot of problems for the hosts, first being denied by Lucas Chevalier and then hitting the side-netting.

Starting with the hosts, making real history last season as they stormed their way to a record-breaking seventh consecutive domestic crown, Slovan Bratislava have only continued on from where they left off to the summer break. Last seen extended in their stellar start to proceedings as they secured a 2-1 victory away at Trencin, Vladimir Weiss' men have once again skyrocketed their way to the top of the First League standings.

Ismael Doukoure heading to Chelsea? Graeme Bailey said: Part of the new deal, he was handed a significant pay rise, but he also signed knowing a pathway is in place for him to follow Strasbourg team-mate Emanuel Emegha to Stamford Bridge in 2026. We can confirm that Newcastle did make an approach, but so did Brighton, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, West Ham, and others in Europe and Saudi Arabia.

Strasbourg, official seat of the European parliament, the jewel of the Alsace region on the west bank of the Rhine. Important historically, geographically and politically. One of the city's most famous sons, Arsene Wenger, as a boy, was so embedded that his first language was Low Alemannic German, not French. To use a word Wenger brought to the English football vernacular footballistically Strasbourg was never too much of a hub.

"Strasbourg embarked on a sensational rise under Liam Rosenior, securing a seventh-place finish among France's elite last season and achieving a gritty 1-0 victory away at Metz."
