Chelsea negotiates with Strasbourg to transfer Deivid Washington

Chelsea has started talks with Ligue 1 club Strasbourg regarding a potential transfer of striker Deivid Washington. The 21-year-old is interested in a move to France as he seeks to revive his career after spending last season with Santos in Brazil, where he scored once in 17 league appearances. Strasbourg, having sold Emanuel Emegha to Chelsea, is looking to bolster their attacking options and is pursuing Washington, who was initially targeted by them last year. Both clubs aim to finalize a deal after a previous transfer fell through due to regulatory issues surrounding multi-club ownership.
