"Carney Chukwuemeka has started in eight games for Borussia Dortmund this season and registered two goals, including a 95th minute equaliser against Frankfurt last month. The 22-year-old played for Aston Villa and Chelsea between 2016 and 2024, notably scoring a 92nd minute winner in the latter's FA Cup quarter-final clash against Leicester shortly before his loan move to Borussia Dortmund."
"The youngster, who starts predominantly on the left wing for the German club, is allowed per FIFA rules to switch nationalities as he has never made a senior appearance for England. The 22-year-old was born in Austria but lived in England for most of his life following his family's move to Northampton. Chukwuemeka, who has featured in 26 games for Borussia Dortmund this season, was the subject of similar reports in 2023 that claimed Austria were attempting to persuade the youngster to switch his national allegiance."
Carney Chukwuemeka is a 22-year-old winger eligible to represent England, Nigeria, France and Austria and has played for England at various youth levels. He was born in Austria but grew up in Northampton after his family moved to England. He played for Aston Villa and Chelsea between 2016 and 2024, scored a 92nd-minute FA Cup quarter-final winner for Chelsea, and moved to Borussia Dortmund on loan before signing permanently for a reported fee of 17.5 million. He has started eight games this season, scored two goals including a 95th-minute equaliser, and FIFA rules permit a nationality switch because he has not made a senior England appearance. Austria are pursuing his switch to improve his World Cup chances.
