Chelsea’s Chukwuemeka Set For Dortmund Loan

Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka is expected to join German club Borussia Dortmund on loan for the remainder of the season.

The 21-year-old joined Chelsea from Aston Villa in a £20m deal in 2022.

Chukwuemeka’s game time under Enzo Maresca has been limited this season, with the midfielder making just five appearances for the Blues.

The German transfer window closes at 17:00 GMT on Monday, six hours before the English transfer window ends.

Dortmund have a well-trodden path of signing promising young English players, going back to Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham.

This season, England U21 winger Jamie Gittens has excelled with the club.

Dortmund are 11th in the Bundesliga and sacked head coach Nuri Sahin last month.

Niko Kovac, the former Bayern Munich manager, has since signed an 18-month deal with the club to replace Sahin.

Dortmund are through to the Champions League knockout play-offs, where they will face Portuguese side Sporting.

Meanwhile, Premier League strugglers Ipswich Town have agreed a deal with Chelsea to sign England U18 defender Somto Boniface.

The full-back has agreed personal terms with Kieran McKenna’s side and will join the Tractor Boys on a permanent basis.
