Barcelona have been linked with Aston Villa midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka, as per various sources in Spain (h/t Mundo Deportivo, Diario Sport, and Diario AS).
The 18-year-old has sparkled alongside Philippe Coutinho this season, making five goal contributions across 21 appearances.
Born in Austria to Nigerian parents, Chukwuemeka is a rising star, tipped to become a reference in English football in the coming years.
He's a powerful footballer who stands over six feet tall. His intimidating physique is only complimented by his speed and passing technique.
His passing is not bad either - he boasts an 85.3% pass accuracy.
Barcelona intends to sign the player on a free transfer when his contract ends next summer.
