Strasbourg are set to benefit from Chelsea's swoop for Rennes midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu.
L'Equipe says Chelsea have reached an agreement with Rennes for Ugochukwu over a fee of around 30m.
After three seasons in Brittany, the U19 France international will move to Chelsea - via French partners Strasbourg.
Foot Mercato says Chelsea will initially place Ugochukwu on-loan at Strasbourg.
With Rennes, the 19 year-old made 47 appearances in Ligue 1.
