Early career
Elmer was signed by English Premier League side Chelsea in the summer of 2005 from Grasshoppers.[1] He featured regularly for the Chelsea reserve and youth teams in both the 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons.

His second appearance was against Wycombe Wanderers on 13 July 2005. Chelsea went on to win the game 5–1. He also came on as a substitute to make his third appearance for the club four days later as Chelsea F.C. beat Portuguese club Benfica 1–0 in another pre-season fixture.
