Strasbourg have found a perfect Ben Chilwell alternative playing in South America, and are keen to take him on.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n If you enjoy Chelsea News coverage and want to see more of it, add us as a preferred source on Google to make us a favourite and see more of our content.<\/em><\/p>\n While things at Chelsea have been a disaster this season, their sister club Strasbourg have had a good season.<\/p>\n They went far in the Coup de France, are still in the Conference League and are competing in the Ligue 1 table once again. Gary O\u2019Neil has done a good job since taking over from Liam Rosenior in January.<\/p>\n Our French siblings also have a far better hit rate than we do in terms of transfers, and according to a rumour in L\u2019Equipe, they\u2019ve got another target lined up for this summer.<\/p>\n Strasbourg want an alternative to Ben Chilwell at left back, and they\u2019ve found a South American talent to fill that role.<\/p>\n Mateo Del Blanco, who plays for Union Santa Fe in Argentine, is now a top target. He\u2019s got a \u20ac3m release clause, and we can only assume that\u2019s a good deal given Strasbourg\u2019s record in signing players. The 22 year old has a Spanish passport too, making his move to Europe that much easier.<\/p>\n With more than 100 senior appearances, Del Blanco has plenty of experience and is at a perfect moment in his career to step up and take a European move.<\/p>\n Andoni Iraola is the top option to get the Chelsea job \u2013 but fans are universally in favour of him being the chosen one.<\/p>\n Premier League legend Gareth Barry pointed out that Liam Rosenior never had a chance to get rid of the players who were undermining him.<\/p>\n DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
