In case you missed it, Chelsea agreed a deal with Aston Villa yesterday to sign teenage midfield sensation Carney Chukwuemeka.
Fabrizio Romano explains the details behind the transfer and how Thomas Tuchel helped Chelsea seal the deal.
Romano said on his YouTube channel: “Barcelona were leading the race for Carney Chukwuemeka before Chelsea made an offer.
“Thomas Tuchel was ‘the man who changed the story’. AC Milan promised the player an important role, also, but he accepted Chelsea because of Tuchel.

“Tuchel thinks he can help the team immediately. There was a meeting last week with Tuchel, Carney Chukwuemeka’s agents and family.”
Chukwuemeka made 12 appearances for Villa last season, playing 295 minutes in total. He made his Premier League debut at the age of just 17.
A versatile midfielder who is a good passer of the ball, Chukwuemeka surely has the talent to be a great player for a top club like Chelsea.
