Chelsea taking advantage of Strasbourg swap shop yet again with NINE moves in six months
THE Chelsea and Strasbourg swap shop is very much open for business again. The revolving doors between Stamford Bridge and Strasbourg have sent EIGHT players and one coach spinning between the sister clubs in the last six months alone.

But the bosses at BlueCo, the company which owns both teams, are using multi-club ownership to In recent days, FIVE deals to take personnel across the Channel to north-east France. Goalkeeper Advertisement READ MORE ON FOOTBALL Blues Under-21 head coach Filipe Coelho has also left Chelsea to become Liam Rosenior's assistant at the Ligue 1 club. And today Chelsea confirmed that 19-year-old defender Mamadou Sarr - just signed from Strasbourg - has been sent on loan there too. At the end of last season Left back Caleb Wiley had half a season at Strasbourg but returned in January after getting injured and then went on loan to Waford.

Amougou made his Premier League debut against Southampton, but was sold to Strasbourg barely five months after arriving in London. Although Chelsea have a buy-back clause on Amougou, the swift flipping of the player and the sale of Samuels-Smith, who never played a first-team game for the Blues, have raised eyebrows. The fees that Strasbourg have paid will certainly help balance the Stamford Bridge books after another summer of heavy spending. Players can seem like pawns in a game which is as much about compliance with financial rules as on-field performance.

When you look at the cost of the Amougou deals, you can see their point. Overall, the sense is that as soon as a player does well at Strasbourg, he will be moved to Chelsea to play in the first team or to be sold if he doesn't make the grade. Reports emerged last week that the Blues were close to agreeing personal terms with Strasbourg striker Emanuel Emegha, ahead of a proposed transfer to Stamford Bridge next summer. Advertisement You wonder whether any other clubs will be allowed to challenge Chelsea in the bidding for Emegha, who was the Ligue 1 club's top scorer last season. The Blues and Aston Villa have already been warned by Uefa that transfers between the two clubs will be closely monitored for fair value, after the shenanigans of summer 2024. Uefa and the Premier League will take similar interest in deals between Chelsea and Strasbourg.

Advertisement Alexandre Hummel, spokesperson for the Strasbourg Supporters' Club, said: 'With the Sarr move, we are not being allowed to sell in a free market to the highest-bidding team. 'WIth that situation, with Penders and Petrovic, even with the coach who is coming, this is the way that a feeder team is run in US sport. 'Everything is done for the benefit of Chelsea.' BlueCo - the consortium of US-based trio Clearlake Capital, Todd Boehly and Mark Walter, plus Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss - bought a controlling stake in Strasbourg in June 2023, a year after completing their takeover of Chelsea. Advertisement The French club was always going to be the junior partner in the set-up, just as happens in other multi-club ownership structures like the City Football Group which controls Manchester City and a portfolio of other clubs. But Strasbourg have finished higher in the league in each season of BlueCo ownership and in 2025/6 will enjoy their first proper campaign of European football for 20 years. So it's tempting to ask: what's the problem? Everyone's a winner. And the majority of Strasbourg fans seem to feel that way, for now at least. The multi-club ownership system is not part of the tradition of European football. Alexandre Hummel Strasbourg Supporters' Club Hummel, 43, and a Strasbourg fan for 35 years, said: 'I would say that 60 or 70% of people are either non-sensitive to the question or just happy to have good results on the pitch. Advertisement 'But the organised supporters' groups do not agree with the fact that Strasbourg is being used basically as a reserve team or an U23 team for Chelsea. 'It means our club is no longer independent and no matter what the sporting results on the field are, we feel very bad about that because we value independence. 'The multi-club ownership system is not part of the tradition of European football. 'We have a rich history between the local regional identity and the football club. Advertisement 'That doesn't fit with having your club being used as some kind of subsidiary to a big empire which is owned by private equity firms in the US. 'There's a lot of arrogance in that.

Luke Littler says he could quit darts in a decade and make a comeback in his 20s
Luke Littler, the 18 year old darts sensation, has hinted he might retire from the sport before he turns 30, only to make a comeback later. The young star, known as 'The Nuke', recently added another major trophy to his growing collection by triumphantly securing his first World Matchplay title. In an exciting final, he defeated James Wade 18-13, becoming the youngest player ever to achieve darts' Triple Crown, which also includes the World Championship and the Premier League. Since making a splash as a 16 year old at the 2023/24 World Championship, Littler has also clinched the Grand Slam of Darts and the UK Open. Given his youth, there's chatter that he could challenge Phil Taylor's records, who bagged 16 world titles and an equal number of World Matchplay crowns. To approach Taylor's achievements, Littler would realistically need to continue playing for at least two more decades. However, the Nuke admits he may be ready for a break from the game in a decade's time. He exclusively told Mirror Sport: "People are thinking, 'How long am I going to do it for?' But for myself, 10 years' time may come." With the success he's enjoyed over the past 18 months, Littler has already made himself a millionaire, while he has already been tipped to earn in excess of £10m in his career if he keeps his head down. Littler continued: "Hopefully, I've won everything that I've wanted [before I stop] and be financially secure. "Then [after stopping] I might get bored in a year or two and come back. I'd probably say 10-15 years and see where my head's at." Littler admits he doesn't have time to reflect on his incredible feats of the last year and a half due to his intense schedule, which is set to take him Down Under for the Australian Masters World Series event next week. He said: "There's not enough time to sit back and look at what I've done. When I've got a week off, I don't want to be sat down analysing what I've done in the past. "I know what I've done, I can see the trophies in my living room. It's about living in the moment." On his increasingly large trophy collection, Littler added: "Yeah, there's not a lot of room [for trophies]. I think there might have to be some trophy cabinets ordered!" Littler has teamed up with KP for the 'Nuts for Darts' campaign, which will see one lucky pub win an appearance from the world champion, who will spend an evening at the victorious boozer and throw some arrows with customers. He said: "We need people to go to their landlords and get them to enter to get an appearance from me in their own pub. It's a brilliant idea by KP."
