However, with the player’s loan expiring in June and the club unwilling to make the move permanent, they must reach a compromise with parent club Chelsea.
Chukwuemeka joined Borussia Dortmund during the winter transfer window, fitting their need for a midfielder who could dictate play and deliver incisive passes.
However, the 21-year-old Englishman struggled to make a significant impact, and the Bundesliga side has decided against a permanent move, having already lined up Jobe Bellingham as his replacement.
