Everton eye late January move for Chelsea star

Everton are showing interest in young Chelsea star who has fallen out-of-favour at West London. They are plotting a late January move to land the player.

The star in question here is Carney Chukwuemeka who joined the Blues from Aston Villa. He arrived to West London in 2022 as a promising youngster. However, the deal has not worked out of both the club and the player.

Chukwuemeka played only 27 matches in his first 2 seasons at Chelsea. Everyone hoped that the situation changes this season but the exact opposite has happened. The 21 year old is struggling for game time even more this season.

Maresca has provided Chukwuemeka with only 5 games this season. In addition, none of those have came in Premier League. The situation is not expected to change anytime soon and hence there are talks about Chukwuemeka’s exit.

Loic Tanzi has reported that Everton are showing strong interest in Chukwuemeka. The Toffees are plotting a late January move to land the 21 year old. But they need to free up space in loan department by letting Armando Broja go. The striker has been injured and will miss many games.

If Everton can’t let any of their loan players leave, they would need to sign Chukwuemeka on permanet basis. Eariler, the Blues were demanding £40 million which is the release clause of 21 year old. But, as per the latest news they may now agree to do deal for around £30 million.

A move to Everton will be a good choice for Chukwuemeka. He can get to play regularly which is very essential to get his career back on track. If he moves on loan, he has the perfect opportunity to impress a top club who can go after him in the summer window.
