Aston Villa starlet Carney Chukwuemeka has decided that he will not sign a new contract at the club, with most of England's elite keeping a very close eye on the situation.

The 18-year-old is widely heralded as one of England's finest young stars, and after tearing through youth football, Chukwuemeka has been flirting with a senior breakthrough for a while now.

He has three Premier League appearances to his name, one of which came earlier this season, but The Guardian state that Chukwuemeka does not expect to see many more and has grown concerned about his future at Villa Park.

Chukwuemeka has been unimpressed with his lack of first-team opportunities and believes that new manager Steven Gerrard, with whom his relationship is fine, is set to rely on more experienced players instead of giving a chance to the younger players in the squad.

As a result, he has decided that he will not be signing a new contract and, with his deal expiring in the summer of 2023, could be on the move fairly soon.
