This Senegal U17 international arrives at Chelsea for a training stint

Yaya Diémé is currently on a one-month training stint at Chelsea FC. This initiative is part of a progressive integration strategy orchestrated by the BlueCo group to prepare the young player for adaptation to European football.

Trained at the Diambars academy in Senegal, Yaya Diémé stood out with his performances in the U17 national team, where he won the 2023 U17 Africa Cup of Nations and participated in the 2023 U17 World Cup. In January 2025, an agreement was reached for his transfer to RC Strasbourg, effective from January 2026, when he will reach the age of majority (18 years old).

The current stint at Chelsea represents the first step of a tailor-made adaptation program. During 2025, the 17-year-old right winger will alternate between stays in London and Strasbourg to familiarize himself with the environments of both clubs.
