Crystal Palace is reportedly at the forefront of securing Chelsea attacking midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka......See Full Story>>.....See Full Story>>
The midfielder, who transferred to Chelsea from Aston Villa in 2022, has played 27 matches for the team, contributing two goals and one assist.
Chukwuemeka has four years remaining on his Chelsea contract, but the club’s new manager, Enzo Maresca, is reportedly open to letting him leave to gain more playing time.
The England Under-21 international has faced challenges with injuries, including two serious knee issues last season.
Crystal Palace is expected to offer around £20 million for Chukwuemeka, though his contract includes a £40 million release clause.
While Barcelona has also expressed interest in the young talent, a move to Crystal Palace might give Chukwuemeka the opportunity for more consistent playing time, which could aid his progression as a player.
