Carney Chukwuemeka: Chelsea agree deal to sign Aston Villa midfielder for £20m
Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign Aston Villa teenager Carney Chukwuemeka for £20m.
The midfielder, 18, was left out of Villa's pre-season tour to Australia after refusing to sign a new contract, which expires next summer.
Chukwuemeka, who starred for England in their Under-19 European Championship triumph last month, made 12 Premier League appearances for Villa last term.
He would become Chelsea's third signing of the summer.
La Liga giants Barcelona, Serie A champions AC Milan and Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund were all linked with Chukwuemeka.
Chelsea's deal can be seen as a coup as he is one of the Premier League's brightest young prospects.
The Blues and Villa both confirmed Chukwuemeka has been given permission to travel to London to discuss personal terms and undergo a medical.
Villa boss Steven Gerrard said last month the player had not signed a new deal which "has been in place for some time now" after leaving him out of the tour down under.
Chelsea have already brought in England international Raheem Sterling from Manchester City for £50m and Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli for £34m.
Boss Thomas Tuchel is still keen to further strengthen the Stamford Bridge side. He is interested in signing Marc Cucurella after Brighton ended discussions with Manchester City over the sale of the Spanish left-back.

Don’t know much about him but must be a good prospect for them to pay that much.

This kid could be great….he is a good as Pogba at his age. I mentioned a while back that he should be called up to be tied down….
Another kid is Osula at Sheffield United. The kids movement on and off the ball is majestic….just needs to find his stride

One of the top young MF in the world. England u20 player, top top prospect, I don’t see him ever switching to Nigeria. The boy is a step above all the others we’re chasing. Oliseh, Eze, new kid at CP and Madueke are no match. Chelsea doing some great business .

Good pick up by Chelsea. Chukwuemeka is a quality kid based on the few league games I watched him play last season. He's listed as an attacking midfielder but more likely a box to box CM. Made the team of the tournament for the England team that won the u19 euros this summer. He's eligible for England, Austria & Nigeria but at his current level it's highly unlikely that he will play for our supereagles.

Not a bad player, I remember him and Ramsey from last season

That will NEVER happen. Atleast not in Saka's lifetime. You think the English will accept that? A full foreign line up? We arent even talking about a full black line up o! A full foreign/African/Nigerian line up? Thats the day dem innit boys will realize how much hatred their beloved Queen's country has for them. it wont even happen anyway.Damunk wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 6:09 pmI’m not looking forward to the day England’s line-up will be full of Naija boys and captained by Saka.green4life wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 12:36 am Good pick up by Chelsea.

He's a real talent. But I'm not sure one can claim that he's above Eze and Olise.
Right now he's not. Besides they play in different roles. The other players are starting in the PL remember...
Not sure who his advisers are but IMHO, this is a wrong career move, esp as Dortmund was also interested.
And the history of Chelsea with young players is well known.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini.

Re: Chelsea agree deal to sign Carney Chukwuemeka for £20m.
Here we go again. Lets pretend that Mason Mount didn't score 13 G + 16 Assists last season... Or Reese James to mention a few... there are others examples .... Besides Tuchel was once a manager at Dortmund and Chelsea has new owners.

You and I know that it was a ban that forced Chelsea (under fat Frank) to play Mount, James and Tammy.
And as soon as the ban was lifted they promptly shifted Tammy's butt to Roma...
BTW, I am happily waiting for the other examples...
As well as how many games Gallagher will play this season...
At this stage of his career, the most important thing for Chukwuemeka is to play regularly. He will NOT get it at Chelsea...
BAD move!

Re: Chelsea agree deal to sign Carney Chukwuemeka for £20m.
At 18 How many games did Foden play for Pep at City? Has it been a bad move for his career. Not playing a lot of games as a youngster in an ambitious club isn’t automatically bad for their career. The fact that you mentioned Gallagher shows you’re still entangled in worn out media narratives. Time will tell.txj wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 2:35 pmgreen4life wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 12:34 amHere we go again. Lets pretend that Mason Mount didn't score 13 G + 16 Assists last season...

BAD move!
And how many did Sancho play at Dortmund?
Jude Bellingham?
Sesko at Salzburg?
How many did De Ligt at Ajax?
Not playing a lot of games for a young player is BAD for their careers; period. And that includes Foden, who for all his achievements is not continuing to grow as much when compared to similar young players who are playing regularly.
You would not say this if he was not a Chelsea signing...
