Chelsea Offers £20m Midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka to Celtic and Rangers
In a surprising move, Chelsea has offered Celtic and Rangers the opportunity to sign midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka in the January transfer window. According to sources, Chelsea is planning to offload some of its midfield players, and Chukwuemeka is one of the players they are willing to let go.
Chukwuemeka, who cost Chelsea £20m when they signed him from Aston Villa in 2022, has struggled to break into the first team at Stamford Bridge. With Chelsea’s new manager, Enzo Maresca, having faith in other midfielders, such as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Chukwuemeka’s opportunities have been limited.
As a result, Chelsea is working hard to find Chukwuemeka a new club, with Celtic and Rangers being offered the chance to sign him. Both Scottish giants have been linked with Chukwuemeka in the past, and it remains to be seen whether they will take Chelsea up on their offer.
Chukwuemeka is reportedly ready to leave Chelsea and is looking for a new challenge. With Celtic and Rangers both competing at the top of Scottish football, they may offer Chukwuemeka the opportunity he is looking for.
In addition to Chukwuemeka, Chelsea is also working to find a new club for Lesley Ugochukwu, who is currently on loan at Southampton. Southampton has told Chelsea that they want to send Ugochukwu back to Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea is keen for the Frenchman to continue playing football and is exploring other options for him.
The January transfer window is shaping up to be an interesting one for Chelsea, with several players potentially leaving the club. However, with Maresca’s squad starting to take shape, there is reason to be positive about the club’s project moving forward.
Celtic and Rangers, meanwhile, will be weighing up the pros and cons of signing Chukwuemeka. With both teams competing for domestic and European honors, they will be looking to strengthen their squads in the January transfer window.
Only time will tell if Chukwuemeka will make the move to Scotland, but one thing is certain – the January transfer window is going to be an exciting one for football fans.
