Chukwuemeka, 21, has not featured in the Premier League for Chelsea this season and has only started one match in the Conference League.

Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka has flown to Germany and is completing his loan move to Dortmund. The 20-year-old needs to pass a medical but is expected to make the switch before the transfer deadline. Chukwuemeka is considered surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge by manager Enzo Maresca and has been encouraged to leave.

Given the lack of opportunities afforded to Chukwuemeka, he is now all set for a move to Dortmund, with Ben Jacobs revealing the first part of his medical has been completed. The Athletic claim that Chukwuemeka will join on a six-month loan deal, paying £2m up front, and there is an option-to-buy clause inserted in the contract.
