Mamadou Sarr (19) will return to RC Strasbourg Alsace on a season-long loan from Chelsea, the Premier League club he joined earlier this summer. The deal does not include a purchase option, according to L’Équipe.

The France youth international had a breakout campaign with Strasbourg last season, impressing during a first professional spell in Ligue 1. His progress earned him a €20m transfer to Chelsea in June, where he has since lifted the FIFA Club World Cup with the first-team squad under Enzo Maresca.

Despite integrating briefly into the Blues’ senior setup, the decision has been made to send the defender back to Alsace to continue his development with regular playing time.
