Sky: Leipzig interested in Chelsea's Chukwuemeka

The 22-year-old Dutchman, who has expressed his desire to move to the management team since May, has been in contact with Chelsea FC as well as Bayern Munich. His brother and manager is said to have already held talks with the club's World Cup winner.

This could lead to a swap. According to Sky, Leipzig have signaled their interest in Carney Chukwuemeka. The 21-year-old was loaned out to Borussia Dortmund in the second half of last season and also played for the Westphalians during the Club World Cup.

Dortmund are still interested in the attacking midfielder, but had rejected a purchase. BVB favors another loan. Now the personnel issue is picking up speed with Leipzig's interest.
