Chelsea young player's wage demands make departure unlikely

The club is looking to sell the 20-year-old before the transfer window ends.

Chukwuemeka is not in boss Enzo Maresca’s plans, with Crystal Palace interested.

However, The Sun states that Chelsea want a fee of around £40M, but may slightly lower that valuation.

But the big issue for any deal is his wages, as the ex-Aston Villa youngster is on around £115K a week.

No club will pay a young player such a sum, considering he has not shown that much promise during his Premier League appearances.
