The 21-year-old, who has been a part of the England youth setup, impressed during his loan spell at Dortmund last season and has now been signed on a five-year contract.

In addition to the Chukwuemeka signing, Dortmund has also secured the loan of Chelsea defender Aaron Anselmino.
This deal brings Chelsea’s income from player sales this summer to over £270m, which is a significant achievement in balancing their transfer budget following their previous financial penalties.
With the transfer deadline fast approaching, it remains to be seen if Chelsea will make any further signings, but fans can be assured that the team will continue to compete at the highest level with their current talented squad.
