Chelsea are also in the market for a new striker and have been monitoring Emegha's progress. However, the young Frenchman may be hesitant to join Chelsea due to concerns about playing time. Palace, on the other hand, could offer Emegha a starting role, which would be an attractive prospect for the 22-year-old player who has expressed a desire to play in the Premier League.

Palace are not alone in their interest, as Chelsea are also considering other options, including RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and Ipswich Town's Liam Delap. These players are more well-known and fit Chelsea's strategy of signing young talent. Emegha, however, may be a more affordable and promising option for Palace, who need a replacement for Mateta.
