"Chelsea will recall Mamadou Sarr from his loan at sister club Strasbourg and sent Aaron Anselmino to France in a swap deal before the end of the transfer window on Monday, sources have told ESPN. Sarr will captain Strasbourg tonight against PSG for his last Ligue 1 game. In a move which has already infuriated Strasbourg fans, the Senegalese international, 20, under contract until 2033 with the Blues, will finish the season in the Premier League."
"The move comes at the request of Liam Rosenior who worked with him at Strasbourg before taking the Chelsea job. Sarr will travel to London on Monday to start this new chapter of his career. To compensate the departure of Sarr, a key player for Strasbourg, Chelsea will loan Argentine centre-back Anselmino, 20, to the French club until the end of the season after terminating his loan at Borussia Dortmund last week."
Chelsea recalled Mamadou Sarr from his loan at sister club Strasbourg and sent Aaron Anselmino to Strasbourg on loan in a swap deal before the transfer window closed. Sarr, a 20-year-old Senegalese international under contract until 2033, will finish the season with Chelsea. The recall followed a request from Liam Rosenior, who previously worked with Sarr at Strasbourg. To compensate Strasbourg for losing a key player, Chelsea terminated Anselmino's loan at Borussia Dortmund and loaned him to the French club until season's end. Chelsea had two rejected bids for other centre-backs from Rennes and Nantes. Sarr had originally been expected to join Chelsea's first team at season's end, but the club completed the swap early.
