Chukwuemeka signs long-term deal

Borussia Dortmund have completed the signing of Carney Chukwuemeka from Chelsea. The 21-year-old, who played for BVB on loan in the second half of last season and during the FIFA Club World Cup, has now signed a permanent contract with the eight-time German champions until 30 June 2030.

“It was important for us to further improve the quality and creativity we have in attacking midfield. We are delighted that we have been able to secure the long-term services of such a talented player as Carney and can now work together on his development,” said Borussia Dortmund’s managing director Lars Ricken.

“Carney has enormous potential, which he has already demonstrated with us in the second half of the season. He can make the difference by repeatedly finding solutions in tight spaces and gives us an additional footballing element in midfield that will do us a lot of good,” says BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl.

Chukwuemeka made 17 competitive appearances for Borussia Dortmund last season (one goal) and will keep “his” shirt number 17. He says: “It feels really good to now be an integral part of BVB. I’ve got to know this club, the manager, my teammates and the fans over the past few months and I’m just happy that Dortmund is now my new footballing home. I will give everything to ensure that we achieve our goals as a team.”

Coach Markus Högner said about this dominant performance: \u201cThroughout the whole 90 minutes, we delivered a solid performance, conceded virtually no scoring opportunities, and scored some terrific goals.\u201d Following their recent successes, the head coach is pleased that this top clash against the club from Cologne is scheduled just before the winter break: \u201cAfter that, we will know where we stand.\u201d The match will determine who will be leading the Regionalliga West at the turn of the year. Thanks to a better goal difference (64-8), the currently second-placed BVB women (three points behind) could take over the top spot of the table for the first time since the start of the season if they win, relegating the Cologne women to second place (54-16).<\/p>\nPersonnel matters \n <\/b>After missing the game in Leverkusen due to tendonitis, Ann-Sophie Vogel was partly able to start team training again this week. Markus Högner expects that both she and Nora Willeke, who was out with a cold for a couple of days, will be part of the selection again this weekend. <\/p>\nThe opposition \n <\/b>Markus Högner describes their upcoming opponent as a team \u201cthat never gives up, with a very good mindset, that can even turn a game around in the final minutes of the match.\u201d Especially the combination of young and more experienced players, such as Lydia Andrade, who brings Bundesliga experience, make Köln \u201ca very strong side, that is currently winning a lot of games\u201d. Of their 14 matches in the Regionalliga West, the Cologne women have won 12. They only dropped points against SGS Essen's U21 (3-3) and DJK Wacker Mecklenbeck (1-2 defeat).<\/p>\nReunion of former DFB coaches <\/b> \nMarkus Högner attributes the success of the Köln youth team to their very good coach whom he knows very well: Verena Hagedorn, who won the European Championship as a player in 2001, worked alongside Högner as assistant coach of the DFB women's team in the 2016/17 season. <\/p>\nThe match on Saturday 6 December will be played on Matchday 15 of the Regionalliga West.

Coach Markus Högner said about this dominant performance: \u201cThroughout the whole 90 minutes, we delivered a solid performance, conceded virtually no scoring opportunities, and scored some terrific goals.\u201d Following their recent successes, the head coach is pleased that this top clash against the club from Cologne is scheduled just before the winter break: \u201cAfter that, we will know where we stand.\u201d The match will determine who will be leading the Regionalliga West at the turn of the year. Thanks to a better goal difference (64-8), the currently second-placed BVB women (three points behind) could take over the top spot of the table for the first time since the start of the season if they win, relegating the Cologne women to second place (54-16).<\/p>\nPersonnel matters \n <\/b>After missing the game in Leverkusen due to tendonitis, Ann-Sophie Vogel was partly able to start team training again this week. Markus Högner expects that both she and Nora Willeke, who was out with a cold for a couple of days, will be part of the selection again this weekend. <\/p>\nThe opposition \n <\/b>Markus Högner describes their upcoming opponent as a team \u201cthat never gives up, with a very good mindset, that can even turn a game around in the final minutes of the match.\u201d Especially the combination of young and more experienced players, such as Lydia Andrade, who brings Bundesliga experience, make Köln \u201ca very strong side, that is currently winning a lot of games\u201d. Of their 14 matches in the Regionalliga West, the Cologne women have won 12. They only dropped points against SGS Essen's U21 (3-3) and DJK Wacker Mecklenbeck (1-2 defeat).<\/p>\nReunion of former DFB coaches <\/b> \nMarkus Högner attributes the success of the Köln youth team to their very good coach whom he knows very well: Verena Hagedorn, who won the European Championship as a player in 2001, worked alongside Högner as assistant coach of the DFB women's team in the 2016/17 season. <\/p>\nThe match on Saturday 6 December will be played on Matchday 15 of the Regionalliga West.
