Dortmund keen to secure new loan deal for Chelsea midfielder | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has confirmed the club’s interest in extending Carney Chukwuemeka’s loan move from Chelsea.

Chukwuemeka spent the second half of last season on loan at Dortmund after struggling for opportunities in West London.

The midfielder made 17 appearances for the German side and helped Dortmund to Champions League qualification.

Dortmund are pleased with the 21-year-old’s performances but believe a permanent move will be difficult. Another loan deal is due to be discussed.

“Carney’s loan ends today. That’s what we agreed with Chelsea. Now, let’s see,” Kehl told journalist Ben Jacobs.

“We will definitely have some more discussions in the next few days about his situation.

“I think it was a good move from Carney to join us. Now let’s see how we manage everything. It won’t be easy, but for sure we will try to keep him because he’s a very good player. This topic is something for the future, and right now I don’t know what will happen.

“It’s always easier to loan a player than to buy one, especially within Carney’s [price] range. We are not that far advanced [with talks] at the moment, but I can tell you that we are pretty close to the player, and he loves Dortmund, so this is quite good.

“Everything else will be decided between Chelsea and us. That won’t be on Monday or Tuesday. I think it will take some more days.”

Dortmund and Chelsea have already been in regular contact this summer with Jamie Gittens completing a move to West London from the Bundesliga side this week.
