West Ham are keen on Carney Chukwuemeka and are set to revisit a deal in January. He is not part of Enzo Maresca's plans at Chelsea, having started just one game in all competitions this season. West Ham were interested in him in the summer.

West Ham are showing genuine interest in Carney Chukwuemeka, who is on his way out of Chelsea. Chelsea have set an asking price of €25 million after previously insisting clubs trigger his €48m release clause. In the summer, Chelsea refused loan offers, pointing to his exit clause as the only way to get him out of west London. It remains to be seen if Chelsea will sanction a loan to boost his playing time and value.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is concerned about Chukwuemeka’s lack of playing time affecting his development. Chelsea is open to sending him out on loan to give him more playing time, but the right offer could persuade them to sell him permanently. West Ham is among the clubs showing interest, though no offers have been made yet. Chelsea’s asking price for Chukwuemeka is around €25 million.

West Ham were open to signing Chukwuemeka on loan on Deadline Day but instead opted for PSG's Carlos Soler.
