Liverpool could snap up gem who’s like ‘Pogba mixed with Iniesta’, big decision made – report
Liverpool have been with Aston Villa talent Carney Chukwuemeka over the past few months.
The reported in May that the Reds were eyeing the talented teenager with a view to a potential move.
Liverpool weren’t the only ones linked with the Villa starlet, however.
As well as the Anfield outfit, the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Juventus were also eyeing Chukwuemeka.
Although the talented midfielder at Villa last year, it the summer of 2023.
Now, according to , Chukwuemeka is set to reject a new contract at Villa Park, handing the likes of Liverpool a boost.
Indeed, the Reds have reportedly been put on alert alongside the Manchester clubs.
The England Under-19 international is said to have grown increasingly frustrated by the lack of first-team opportunities at the club.
Chukwuemeka has made just three competitive senior appearances this season, of which one was in the Premier League.
He has previously compared himself to Paul Pogba, according to , and some fans believe the comparison is apt.
Genuinely so excited for what Chukwuemeka is going to end up as, he looks like Paul Pogba mixed with Iniesta in terms of play style, and as for Kesler-Hayden, he looks like he’s got it all, he’s ready to step up next season as our backup to Cash imo

Every Villa U-23 game I see, Carney Chukwuemeka looks like a young hybrid of Paul Pogba and Patrick Vieira playing against a load of schoolchildren. Can the club please get the lad a loan. That league is doing nothing for him.

Chukwuemeka also clear he’s basically a pogba regen
2021/22 could be a real breakout year for Carney Chukwuemeka at .

His playstyle reminds me of Paul Pogba – tall frame, but effortless fluid motions.
At 17 years old, Carney is undoubtedly the brightest prospect since Grealish.
Liverpool could do with bolstering their midfield ranks, and a player like Chukwuemeka would certainly be a coup for the Reds.
