Barcelona have serious interest in Aston Villa's Anglo-Nigerian midfielder

La Liga giants Barcelona are seriously interested in signing England U19 sensation of Nigerian descent Carney Chukwuemeka.

 

Transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano says the Blaugrana are very interested in snapping up the Aston Villa midfielder as he's appreciated as a player with huge potential.

 

 

Chukwuemeka played a significant part in England winning the recently concluded 2022 European U19 Championship, scoring three goals and registering two assists in five matches during the tournament in Slovakia.

 

The central midfielder was one of four England players named in the U19 Euro Team of the Tournament.

 

Chukwuemeka could be angling for a move as a result of a lack of first team opportunities., having made only two starts from a possible thirty eight in the Premier League last season.

 

He has entered the final year of his contract with Aston Villa and would be available for a FIFA training compensation as from the January transfer window.

 

Chukwuemeka is a product of the Aston Villa academy, joining them from Northampton Town in 2016.
