Although the transfer has not yet been completed and some details are pending, a contract has already been agreed between Chelsea and the player.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The close relationship between the Premier League club and Strasbourg&#8217;s shared ownership group is a key reason why the deal is likely to go through.
