According to the latest report of South London Press, a well-known British media, the English Premier League team Crystal Palace is paying close attention to the dynamics of Chelsea's young midfielder Chukwuemeka. It is reported that if Chelsea decides to sell the 20-year-old potential star, Crystal Palace will not hesitate to join the battle and consider signing him to enhance the strength of the team.
Chukwuemeka's contract with Chelsea contains a release clause of up to £40 million, the existence of which opens up the possibility of poaching by other teams. Especially with the growing interest of Premier League rivals Newcastle United in another Chelsea player, Gueye, Chelsea may be in dire need of raising funds by selling players in order to reinvest and strengthen their squad.
Crystal Palace sporting director Dougie Freedman has favored Chukwuemeka as a young player with great talent and potential. Although Chukwuemeka's playing time at Chelsea last season was somewhat hampered by injury problems, he showed a lot of strength and potential in his limited appearances, which made the Crystal Palace side see the value in signing him.
In addition, with new additions such as Dewsbury Hall and Pedro Neto, the competition in Chelsea's midfield is set to become even more intense. Under Maresca's coaching, it may become more difficult for Chukwuemeka to get more playing time. Therefore, for Chukwuemeka, who is eager to show himself on a higher stage, a move to a team that can give him more opportunities may be a good choice.
