Chelsea’s decision to recall striker Marc Guiu, rather than sign another new forward to replace the injured Liam Delap, was made with a view to the Blues’ long-term plans for Strasbourg star Emmanuel Emegha, a report has revealed.
Delap pulled up with a muscle injury shortly before the international break, initially prompting Chelsea to cancel Nicolas Jackson’s loan to Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga giants ultimately improved their offer to force through a deal, while Chelsea opted to bring Guiu back from a loan with Sunderland which he only sealed a few weeks earlier.
