Report: £40m Chelsea player has now said yes to joining AC Milan after being overlooked by Enzo Maresca

AC Milan could be about to sign another player from Chelsea after bringing in the likes of Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Stamford Bridge.

AC Milan signed both Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea last year, and the former has since gone on to become one of their key players.

It now looks like another Chelsea player could be moving to the San Siro after being snubbed by Enzo Maresca this season.

Fikayo Tomori is another footballer who left west London for Milan. Tomori recently spoke about his time at Chelsea and how difficult it was not playing there.

Carney Chukwuemeka set for AC Milan move?

In Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Romeo Lavia, Chelsea have three of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

It is no wonder that Carney Chukwuemeka has struggled for game time. In fact, Maresca has not used him once in the English top flight.

He now looks set for an exit in January, with Calciomercato claiming that the 21-year-old has already said yes to joining Milan.

It is thought that Chukwuemeka has a £40m release clause in his contract, but Calciomercato’s report says Milan want to sign the player on loan with an option to buy.

Milan have not got Chukwuemeka through the door yet and could still end up missing out on him.

According to Calciomercato, Celtic are also interested in the former Aston Villa player and are actually in pole position for his signature.

Whether it is Celtic or Milan, Chukwuemeka just needs to find another club for the second half of the season.

Right now, he is not going to get into either Chelsea’s midfield or attack. It is a bit disappointing, as Chukwuemeka is a footballer with a lot of talent at 21, but it goes to show just how incredible this Chelsea squad really is.
