Keller expressed his support for Emegha, saying that when the player first joined Strasbourg, he was being pursued by top clubs in England and Germany. Keller felt that Chelsea's offer made it possible for Emegha to join Strasbourg, where he had a successful second season.
Keller stated that after receiving offers from multiple top clubs, Emegha decided to stay with Strasbourg, turning down ten other offers. Keller believes that Emegha deserves respect and does not deserve to be booed by the fans.
Keller also discussed the transfer of Ishe Samuels-Smith, who was initially set to join Strasbourg from Chelsea but instead moved to Swansea City. Keller explained that Samuels-Smith belonged to Chelsea and was being sought as a left center-back or left midfielder. After evaluating the player, the team decided that it would be challenging for him to play immediately, so they opted for an intermediate step with Swansea City. The transfer was canceled, and no money changed hands between Chelsea and Strasbourg, with the priority being Samuels-Smith's well-being and playing time.
