“We’ve just done it, What a signing, this guy is a baller” – Chelsea fans jubilate after Blues confirms midfielder deal
When Chelsea revealed they had reached an agreement with Aston Villa for wonderkid Carney Chukwuemeka, fans were left speechless.
The 18-year-old is regarded as one of football’s most exciting talents in Europe. He now joins the Blues with just one year remaining on his current contract at Villa Park.
The England team that won the U19 European Championship this summer featured Chukwuemeka as a significant player. In five games, he contributed two goals and three assists, earning a spot on the tournament’s All-Star team.
The offensive midfielder participated in every match during his nation’s route to the championship game and scored in the 3-1 victory over Israel.
The playmaker earned 11 top-flight matches for the Villans last season after making his Premier League debut at the age of 17. However, because the midfielder was not included in his team’s preseason trip to Australia, speculation has been made about his future.
Chukwuemeka has been linked to numerous European superpowers throughout the transfer season and would be seeking more playing time for a big club. To the pleasure of Blues fans, the agreement with Chelsea, however, seemed to have materialized out of thin air.
However, He appears to be Thomas Tuchel’s third signing of the summer, and many Chelsea fans expressed their delight about it on Twitter..
Meanwhile, In recent years, Aston Villa has produced a number of outstanding young players, including Jack Grealish and Jacob Ramsey.
Chukwuemeka seems to be headed in the same direction as Chukwuemeka. Losing such a gifted young player will definitely be disappointing for the former European champions.
Aston Villa and Chelsea can confirm that the clubs have reached an agreement for the permanent transfer of Carney Chukwuemeka.
The 18-year-old has been given permission to travel to London to discuss both personal terms and undergo a medical.
