reported on May 14 that Chelsea's sister team Strasbourg is going to sign Burnley defender CJ Egan Riley.

CJ-Egan Riley was selected as the top three star stars of the year in the Championship, and the final award was won by Sunderland midfielder Job Bellingham. The 22-year-old guard who helped Burnley successfully advance to the top has survived a brilliant season, but his contract expires and is about to leave the team.

According to TBRFootball, Strasbourg is negotiating with the England U21 international and his team, and West Ham United, Brighton and Brentford are also paying attention to it.

It is reported that Strasbourg seized the initiative as early as January this year, providing it with five-year long contracts and high signing fees. With personnel changes expected in the back line, the club's planning scheme is quite attractive to players.
