EPL: Enzo Maresca Opens Up on Carney Chukwuemeka's Chelsea Future

“Unfortunately, we didn't find solutions in the summer. Now we can use him.”

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca praises Carney Chukwuemeka's talent but cites competition in attacking midfield as a challenge. With no summer exit, Chukwuemeka may now get his opportunity at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has shared his thoughts on the future of young midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka, revealing his admiration for the player's talent. However, Maresca also highlighted the challenges of finding opportunities for Chukwuemeka in a crowded attacking midfield position.

During his press conference, Maresca expressed his fondness for the 19-year-old, saying, “I really, really like Carney Chukwuemeka.” He acknowledged the abundance of attacking midfielders in the squad, which limited Chukwuemeka's chances of playing time.

Maresca also referenced the club's inability to offload or loan out players during the summer transfer window, stating, “Unfortunately, we didn't find solutions in the summer. Now we can use him.” This suggests that Chukwuemeka may finally get his chance to shine at Chelsea.
