Mike Penders, a teenager who was signed by Chelsea last summer for €20m, is set to join affiliate club Strasbourg on loan for the next season.

Mike Penders, who is currently on loan at Genk, has been identified as a potential replacement for Djordje Petrovic at Strasbourg. As Petrovic is set to return to his parent club Chelsea, Strasbourg is considering various options to fill the vacancy in their goalkeeping position. The 19-year-old Belgian goalkeeper, Mike Penders, has been recognized as a suitable candidate for this role. The club is contemplating securing another loan deal from their affiliated club to ensure a smooth transition. This move is in line with Strasbourg's strategy of leveraging young talent from their network to maintain a competitive performance in the league.
