He claims Emegha had major interest from top European clubs and stresses that Strasbourg would have struggled to hold on to him without BlueCo\u2019s backing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were able to bring him (Emegha) in thanks to BlueCo two years ago; many big clubs approached us this summer,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Our priority is to keep our striker and leader. We found the best balance with this agreement, which allows us to keep the player, then let him leave for Chelsea in a year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;Something happened that I couldn\u2019t have imagined. I saw a minority of people in the West Stand attacking the institution, the project, and our captain. It\u2019s unacceptable; these are not our values. Attacking our captain is not right. The fans support us. We used to communicate a lot, including in the National League. But that\u2019s changed over the past two years; it\u2019s sad. And what happened on Sunday no longer respects our club\u2019s rules; we don\u2019t accept it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-ng\/lists\/strasbourg-president-hits-back-at-club-fans-emanuel-emegha-abuse-chelsea-transfer-confirmation\/bltb91ebff4afd696b7\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keller insists the deal with Chelsea was the best possible outcome for everyone.
