Chelsea are close to welcoming a new midfielder to Stamford Bridge this summer.

This comes as the Blues confirmed they have agreed on a deal with Premier League side Aston Villa to sign England U21 midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka.

Chukwuemeka, an England international U-21 star, made 19 appearances for Steven Gerrard’s side after making his first-team debut at the end of the 2020-21 season.

He made 11 Premier League appearances for Aston Villa last season where he gave some impressive performances.

The reports revealed the Blues deal for the youngster is worth an initial £15m.

A statement from Chelsea read: “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.”

It is unlikely he would join Chelsea’s first team as he could play for their youth squad or be sent out on loan to gain more experience.
