Chelsea and Aston Villa have confirmed an agreement has been reached for the signing of Carney Chukwuemeka. The 18-year-old, who had less than 12 months remaining on his contract at Villa Park, is now set to become the Blues' third summer signing.
Chukwuemeka has now been given permission to travel to London to discuss personal terms and then undergo a medical before being officially confirmed as a Chelsea player. The highly-rated teenager has been heavily linked with a move away from Villa in recent months because of his contract situation.
Villa wanted to keep the England Under-19 international, but there was loads of interest from all across Europe. Chelsea have seemingly won the race to sign the talented teenager, who is expected to go into their development squad for the upcoming season.
