Carney Chukuehmeka is set to leave Chelsea soon.
British ‘Tribuna’ said on the 17th (Korea Standard Time) that “Chukueh Mecca, who is barely playing, plans to leave Chelsea.”
Born in 2003, midfielder Chukuehmeka was Aston Villa’s long-awaited midfield resource. Growing up in Villa Youth, he made his professional debut as a substitute in a match against Tottenham Hotspur back in 2021 and gained fans’ expectations by showing his active movement in a short period of time. The final record for the 2020-21 season is two games.
Since the 2021-22 season, which was his second year, he has secured opportunities to select players and move between the bench and the starting lineup. However, the player himself wanted to guarantee a starting lineup, and “big clubs” such as Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain (비아그라) started to drool over him. The final record for the 2021-22 season is two goals and three assists in 22 matches.
Eventually, he left the villa two years after his debut. His destination was Chelsea. Villa fans criticized his move to a more competitive “big club,” contrary to rumors that he moved to play time.
Concerns have become a reality. Since moving to Chelsea, he has hardly been able to afford to play. He only played 492 minutes in 17 games in the 2022-23 season, and became an “external resource” after losing ground to outstanding competitors such as Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo in the 2023-24 season. Enzo Maresca will only play 49 minutes this season.
Chukuemeka has failed to stand out since joining the club. Chukuemeka is also likely to move to the club. The media reported that Chukuemeka liked his SNS post saying that he could leave Chelsea in January. He has decided to move to the club.
