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.
Carney Chukwuemeka is highly rated and the Aston Villa youngster is now on his way to Chelsea, after the two Premier League clubs agreed a fee.
One Villa fan pointed out he's one for the future, saying, "Being a Villa fan and watching Carney a lot. His first touch can let him down at times but his dribbling is exceptional." Fantastic signing for us," one Chelsea fan commented.

Chelsea have reached an agreement with Aston Villa for Carney Chukwuemeka. The 18-year-old is currently in London to undergo his medical.
Hopefully, the 18-year-old will fulfill his potential at the Bridge and becomes a future star. Chelsea have a bunch of youngsters in the midfield. Billy Gilmour is another youngster on our books with a lot of talent at his disposal.

Chukwuemeka is arguably the most interesting deal Boehly will do in this window, partly because it follows a growing trend of the club snapping up exciting young talent from Premier League rivals. This deal is ironic given it feels like one Chelsea fans have become accustomed to hating, losing an academy talent to someone else as Villa did here when the player turned down a contract that would have made him the highest paid teen in English football. Chukwuemeka has been one of the rising stars of English football in recent years, progressing through the ranks at both club and International level.
Carney Chukwuemeka is close to being signed by Chelsea for a fee of £15 million plus add-ons up to £20 million, according to Fabrizio Romano.
However, Chelsea were triumphant in the end. Carney Chukwuemeka is just 18 years old yet has already made 13 senior appearances for Aston Villa, whose academy he played in during his youth. Chukwuemeka, who was branded by one of his Aston Villa teammates as “unbelievable”, is now reportedly in London with his family and agents awaiting medical tests with his prospective club.

'Carney is yet to sign a contract offer that has been in place for some time now. Off the back of dazzling over the summer for England Under-19s, Chukwuemeka could be ready to step up and make a major breakthrough at senior level for Tuchel's men. The Premier League is known for its pace and intensity, meaning that Chukwuemeka is unlikely to be afforded the same time and space that has allowed him to flourish at youth level. England went on to play Israel again in the final, and Chukwuemeka scored his third goal of the tournament in extra-time to seal a 3-1 victory and the trophy. Chukwuemeka is still trying to make his way in the senior game, but his dribbling ability is already a clear strength. As a result, he is eligible to represent three countries, but he has elected to play for England at youth level, and he has already caught the eye for the Under-19s.
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.
