Arsenal interested in Carney Chukwuemeka

Midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka is yet to pen a new deal at Aston Villa and has been linked with a move away. 90min suggests Arsenal are among the clubs interested in signing the teenager this summer, who has been compared to Jude Bellingham.

The report adds that Newcastle United and Barcelona are also keeping tabs on him. Villa manager Steven Gerrard has confirmed that the player will not be a part of the pre-season squad as his future is unresolved.

Speaking on the Talking Transfers podcast, journalist Graeme Bailey said:

"Yeah, this is an interesting one. This is a guy who would slot into one of those roles very easily. He's one of England's best young midfielders, the problem is that he's not happy with what's going on at Aston Villa. He played around 18 games last year, but he's refusing to sign a new contract."

He continued:

"We are seeing Arsenał and Newcastle linked and they are both seeing this guy as someone who could potentially start for them. He's that good and he doesn't think he'll get that gametime at Aston Villa. He's only 18 but he's a super talent, so it's no surprise to see Arsenał in for this guy. He's a hugely exciting talent."

Chukwuemeka, 18, is a bright young talent and recently won the U19 Euros with the England U19 squad. He has just one year left on his current contract with Aston Villa.
