According to Alan Nixon, Crystal Palace are keen to secure the services of the young midfielder who has struggled for game time recently, not starting in any of Chelsea's last three games.

Carney Chukwuemeka has found himself on the periphery of Chelsea's squad, failing to start in the last three fixtures. Despite his potential and previous performances, his limited game time has sparked interest from other clubs looking to provide him with more regular first-team opportunities.

Chukwuemeka signed for Chelsea in 2022 and scored one goal in 23 games. It was one of the earliest transfers under new ownership, without today's sporting directors and scouting system.

Crystal Palace are looking to bolster their midfield options and sees Chukwuemeka as a valuable addition. The Eagles are reportedly ready to invest over £20 million to bring the 20-year-old midfielder to Selhurst Park. This move aligns with Palace’s strategy of acquiring young, promising talent to strengthen their squad for the future.

If the deal goes through, Chukwuemeka could benefit from more consistent playing time at Crystal Palace, helping him develop further and showcase his abilities in the Premier League. For Chelsea, the sale could provide additional funds to reinvest in their squad as they continue to build under new management.

Crystal Palace are reportedly preparing to make a move for Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka, with a bid exceeding £20 million.
