After making significant appearances in Mauricio Pochettino’s early seasons as manager, the gifted midfielder appeared destined to have a huge influence last season.

In January, Chukwuemeka returned to action against Fulham. However, after that, Pochettino only played him nine more times, and each time he did, it was as a substitute.After new manager Enzo Maresca settles in and Chelsea ramp up their summer recruiting push, the race for spots is only going to heat up.

Several loan offers for Chukwuemeka have previously been rejected by the Blues, who used the player’s £40 million release clause in their rejection, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Chelsea completed the signing of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester City on Tuesday, which dashed Chukwuemeka’s chances of being included in Maresca’s plans.Under the Italian coach, the 25-year-old’s game reached new heights last season, and he was an integral part of the Foxes’ push for promotion.

My thoughts on Enzo Maresca, the new head coach, have been widely known. Wow, what a great guy. “He is the best,” The Chelsea webpage was informed by Dewsbury-Hall.Lаst seаsоn, Һe utterly trаnsfоrmeԀ Leicester’s plаystyle, аnԀ we witnesseԀ tҺe results.

I think a lot of the other guys felt the same way about his playing style that I did.

Coming here, I have complete faith that he will execute his way and that the guys will embrace and relish it.
