Carney Chukwuemeka leaving Chelsea?
Chelsea is prepared to part ways with midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka. Sources have told TEAMtalk that Chelsea has put Chukwuemeka up for sale ready for the January window and have fielded interest from Ipswich Town. Chelsea has previously been tipped to hold out for as much as £40 million before selling the Englishman, but a deal can be struck for much less than that sum.
Saudi Pro League clubs are monitoring Carney Chukwuemeka with an interest in a potential January transfer. Chelsea is open to selling Chukwuemeka, and clubs from the Saudi Pro League are interested in him.
