According to Caught Offside, Chelsea is reportedly preparing an offer for Djylian N’Guessan for the winter transfer window. The club intends to complete his transfer in January and leave him at Saint-Étienne on loan until the end of the season. A subsequent loan of one or two years to Racing Club Strasbourg is also mentioned for the Franco-Ivorian forward.

Djylian N'Guessan is of interest to Chelsea, along with other clubs from the Premier League and Italy, including Inter Milan, Udinese, and Watford. The player's future at AS Saint-Étienne is uncertain, particularly since the team was relegated to Ligue 2. Negotiations to extend his contract, which is valid until June 2027, have stalled due to his salary demands and the attention from prestigious clubs. Chelsea is noted for its strategy of recruiting promising young players, and a transfer is considered a possibility, potentially occurring in the winter transfer window. His current valuation is 2 million euros.
