Dortmund Seal £24m Move for Chelsea’s Chukwuemeka
Borussia Dortmund have completed the signing of midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka from Chelsea in a deal worth around £24 million.
The 21-year-old winger – who represented England at under-21 level – has agreed to a contract that will run until 2030.
Chukwuemeka spent the latter half of last season on loan with the German side, featuring 17 times and helping them reach the Club World Cup quarter-finals. Despite fitness setbacks during his career, he impressed enough in Germany to earn a permanent transfer.
After the move was confirmed, Chukwuemeka said: “I am happy Borussia Dortmund is now my footballing home. I will give everything to make sure we achieve our goals as a team.”
Born in Austria and developed as a player at Aston Villa’s academy, he joined Chelsea in 2022 but struggled to secure a regular place, registering just two goals and one assist in 32 appearances. A serious knee injury in 2023 further limited his impact at Stamford Bridge.
Dortmund sporting director Lars Ricken hailed the new arrival, saying the youngster “further increases the quality and creativity of our attacking midfield.”
The latest addition to the squad follows recent arrivals, Jobe Bellingham and Yan Couto, with more business expected before deadline day.
