JUST IN: Olivier Glasner personally want club to beat Barcelona in brutal transfer chase to SIGN brilliant Premier League star.
Carney Chukwuemeka, a product of Aston Villa’s youth academy, made his senior debut for the club in May 2021. After 16 appearances for Villa, he transferred to Chelsea in July 2022. At Chelsea, the young midfielder has played 27 times over two seasons, scoring twice, but hasn’t secured a regular starting position.
At just 20 years old, Chukwuemeka is considered a promising talent. He has represented England 25 times at various youth levels and was part of the victorious U19 Euro 2022 team, earning a place in the Tournament’s Best XI.
With Chelsea looking to reduce their squad size following another summer of significant player acquisitions, rumors have linked Chukwuemeka to Barcelona. However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has downplayed these speculations, stating that no concrete offers have been made and the situation remains quiet for now.
Meanwhile, The Sun reports that Crystal Palace is considering a substantial bid for Chukwuemeka. The midfielder is reportedly keen to leave Chelsea in search of more playing time, as he appears to be out of favor with the new manager, Enzo Maresca. Crystal Palace seems prepared to make a significant investment to secure the young talent’s services.
