He looks for it and makes runs without the ball.” – Sky Sports News reporter Melissa Reddy told viewers: “Chukwuemeka is a very good player. 17 years old, you are playing in the Premier League in the centre of midfield. He gets on the ball. “On the pitch, I’d say I’m a calm person,” he told Soccer Bible in 2021. “He was gliding across the pitch. He also said: “Football is always going around in my head. I like to make a lot of jokes and have a good time. I’ve felt how he can drive me and motivate me. From Villa’s point of view, £20million for an 18-year-old player is a good deal.” I’m good company.” A quick look at his Premier League numbers last season supports these observations.

Chelsea have confirmed they have agreed a deal with Aston Villa to sign talented youngster Carney Chukwuemeka in a £20million deal.

Once the England under-19 international has signed, there is the small matter of choosing a shirt number. The highly-rated midfielder was left out of Steven Gerrard's side in pre-season with talks of a contract renewal having stalled between the club and player. It would be a statement of intent if Chukwuemeka was to look to take the shirt number from Werner, despite it being an unlikely one. With Timo Werner being linked with a return to RB Leipzig this summer, Chukwuemeka's arrival could see the 18-year-old be brave and steal the No.11 shirt from the German forward. It is unlikely Chalobah would be willing to vacate the shirt number with the defender expected to be rotated in Tuchel's team after impressing last season. The talented midfielder has worn the No.14 jersey on occasions for England Under-19s. Trevoh Chalobah currently holds this shirt number and would need to vacate the jersey to allow Chukwuemeka to take it after his £20million move is confirmed.
