Carney Chukwuemeka switched international allegiance from England to Austria, his birth country, after FIFA approval.
Carney Chukwuemeka has started in eight games for Borussia Dortmund this season and registered two goals, including a 95th minute equaliser against Frankfurt last month. The 22-year-old played for Aston Villa and Chelsea between 2016 and 2024, notably scoring a 92nd minute winner in the latter's FA Cup quarter-final clash against Leicester shortly before his loan move to Borussia Dortmund.
We feel that we can achieve something special here together with the club and the fans. The conversations we have had over the last few weeks have reinforced my conviction that, building on our achievements so far, we can deliver long-term success at this club. Our aim is to play our part in getting Borussia back to where it used to be.
RB Leipzig is now pushing to sign Carney Chukwuemeka from Chelsea. They have opened talks about the 21-year-old central midfielder and plan further steps soon.
