“Want To Sign Him…” Insider Reveals Liverpool, Chelsea And United Are Among The Teams Pursuing 18 Year Old

Liverpool have been joined by the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona and Bayer Leverkusen in the battle to sign Aston Villa midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka, according to the Secret Scout.

The insider, who broke the story of Omari Hutchinson’s transfer from Arsenal to Chelsea, claims that Barca have made an initial enquiry with Chukwuemeka’s agent, but there are plenty of other teams pursuing the 18-year-old:

Chukwuemeka has less than a year remaining on his contract and Villa manager Steven Gerrard has decided to leave him out of his plans for the pre-season tour of Australia.

The Villans have proposed to extend his current deal but it does appear as though the teenager has no intention of signing on the dotted line.

Unlike foreign clubs, who would only need to pay minimal compensation for Chukwuemeka if the player allows his current contract to expire, Liverpool and other Premier League clubs would need to agree a fee with Villa or go to a tribunal.
