Borussia Dortmund has further strengthened on the Deadline Day: Carney Chukwuemeka comes to BVB on loan from Chelsea. The Bundesliga club announced this. The 21-year-old had previously passed the medical check.
The English junior national player, born in Austria, receives a loan agreement at BVB until the end of June 2025. According to “Daily Mail”, Dortmund will take over the entire content of the midfield actor and transfers a rental fee to London. The height is not known.
If Carney Chukwuemeka strikes as hoped, Borussia Dortmund can firmly hire him. As BVB announced, the black and yellow secured a purchase option. It is not known how much money would flow to FC Chelsea in this case.
The 21-year-old switched from Aston Villa to London in the summer of 2022 for around 18 million euros, where he still has a contract with the blues until 2028, but does not regularly come (a total of 17 league games and one goal).
“Carney is an extremely talented box-to-box player who has caused a sensation in the Premier League at a young age. His dynamics, his train to the goal and his assertiveness paired with a large soccer class make him an exciting player, who has not been for nothing in England for nothing since the U17, “said BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl.
BVB required in midfield
In Dortmund, Chukwuemeka could fill the gap that Felix Nmecha’s injury tore in the central midfield.
“It is very exciting for me, and I really feel honored to be able to be part of this big club. I can’t wait to play in front of the fans in Signal Iduna Park and to be able to help us all be successful “, the player is quoted in a BVB announcement.
Chukwuemeka is a great talent in England, won the European Championship with the U19 of the Three Lions in 2022. He ran seven times for the English U20 national team.
