Remember the name: Bakwa. If you’re a Chelsea fan who’s just now Googling “Strasbourg winger,” don’t worry—you’re not late to the party. The 22-year-old French dynamo is generating buzz faster than Todd Boehly can sign a midfielder. With eight goals and eight assists this season, Bakwa is turning Ligue 1 defenders into training cones.
Chelsea, ever the magpies of Europe, are reportedly keeping tabs. Why wouldn’t they? The winger is already at Strasbourg, a club under the BlueCo umbrella, aka Chelsea’s footballing sibling. It’s like window shopping in your own closet.
Bakwa’s stats are screaming, “Sign me!”
Eight goals. Eight assists. Twenty-five matches. It’s not witchcraft—it’s work rate. Bakwa is doing for Strasbourg what Chelsea’s been trying to get their wingers to do since Hazard left: produce.
And while Enzo Maresca’s men try to climb out of mid-table purgatory, Bakwa’s name is being scribbled into Stamford Bridge transfer wishlists. The catch? Eintracht Frankfurt also fancies a slice of the action. Because of course they do.
The €30 Million Question: Is Bakwa Worth the Hype?
Strasbourg values him at €30 million, which in Premier League terms is about a week’s wage bill for an underperforming squad. With a contract until 2027, the French club holds the cards—but Chelsea holds the connections.
Would this move make sense for Bakwa? If he fancies a loan to Vitesse or being part of a “project,” absolutely. But jokes aside, his creative numbers speak volumes. Bakwa isn’t just another pace merchant—he’s got vision, flair, and the bravery to try the unpredictable.
What’s Next for Bakwa?
Before Chelsea or Frankfurt comes calling, Bakwa has business with Nice this Saturday. Strasbourg sits fourth in Ligue 1, and he’s a big reason why. If you’re scouting the next breakout star, keep your eyes on this electric winger.
Because if you blink, Bakwa might already be warming up at Stamford Bridge.
