As per estimates, Chukwuemeka is worth around $6m USD. The Englishman, as per his latest Chelsea contract, earns £85,000 per week. He is only 18 years old and if he reaches his top potential, he will be worth much more than the current estimates.
Chukwuemeka joined the Aston Villa academy from Northampton Town in March 2016. He signed his first professional contract with the Villans in July 2020. The Englishman made his Premier League debut against Tottenham Hotspur in an away win, hitting the post within seconds of coming on. He was named Aston Villa’s Academy Player of the Year for the 2020-21 season.
In August 2022, Aston Villa and Chelsea agreed on a fee for the transfer of Chukwuemeka. The Blues announced that he had signed a six-year contract at Stamford Bridge. He is yet to feature for Chelsea in a competitive game.
Chukwuemeka is eligible to play for England, Nigeria and Austria. He chose to play for England and has represented the Three Lions in age-group football. Carney made his debut for the U18 squad in March 2021 in a 2-0 win over Wales.
He featured in England’s squad for the 2022 UEFA U-19 Championship wherein he scored the second goal in extra time for his team in the finals of the competition, eventually winning 3-1 against Israel. Chukwuemeka’s performance in the competition led to his inclusion in the Team of The Tournament.
Chukwuemeka is of Igbo descent. He was born in Austria to Nigerian parents and was raised in Northampton, England. His older brother Caleb Chukwuemeka plays for Aston Villa. There is no information about Chukwuemeka’s partner/s, indicating that he is single.
The Englishman is only 18 years old and he does not own a car or have a tattoo yet. But with time, and his big pay-check, it won’t be a shock to see him turn up for training in a Mercedes or a BMW. Although as of now, there is no information about Carney’s tattoos and any automobiles.
