AC Milan’s transfer wish list has just become one name shorter as Chelsea are set to sign Carney Chukwuemeka from Aston Villa, it has been confirmed.
Chelsea announced on Twitter that they and Aston Villa and have reached an agreement for the permanent transfer of Chukwuemeka. The 18-year-old has been given permission to travel to London to discuss both personal terms and undergo a medical.
The England U19 international has been frequently linked with a move to Milan over the past couple of weeks and he was tipped to be a potential low-cost coup given his talent plus the fact his contract is expiring in less than 12 months.
The Athletic reported on July 22 Chukwuemeka is being chased by both Milan and Barca, while Villa have tried and failed to extend the contract of the 18-year-old attacking midfielder since October. Now, his future seems destined to be in England and at Stamford Brige.
