Premier League club enquires about signing ‘unbelievable’ Chelsea player in January

Chelsea’s Carney Chukwuemeka is already attracting interest ahead of the January transfer window, despite it still being seven weeks away. The Blues, who have been very active in signing players recently, are still looking to strengthen, especially in defense. They are seeking a versatile defender able to cover both center-half and right-back positions.

In contrast, several players in Enzo Maresca’s large squad have struggled for game time in the first half of the season, raising the possibility that some may look for other clubs to secure more regular first-team action.

According to journalist Simon Phillips via Substack, Ipswich Town has made an initial inquiry about Chukwuemeka’s availability for January. Chukwuemeka, eager for more playing time, is open to considering offers, especially as he’s found limited opportunities under Maresca. Though AC Milan and Barcelona have shown interest, Chukwuemeka reportedly prefers to stay in England, ideally in London.

Chelsea values Chukwuemeka highly but might consider a suitable transfer fee or a loan option in January, potentially paving the way for a summer
