Chelsea can confirm that Ishe Samuels-Smith has completed a permanent transfer to Ligue 1 side RC Strasbourg. 

Signed from Everton in July 2023, Samuels-Smith featured for our Under-18s and Under-21s during his two years at Stamford Bridge.

The versatile defender was part of the Blues squad which won the Under-18 Premier League South title in May 2024 and also helped our Under-21s twice reach the Premier League 2 play-offs.

Samuels-Smith, who has been capped by England at under-19 level, was also included in the senior matchday squad on seven occasions.

We thank Ishe for all his efforts during his time at Chelsea and wish him well as he takes the next step in his career with the Ligue 1 club.
