PREMIER - United, Liverpool target Villa wonderkid Chukwuemeka

Manchester United and Liverpool are said to be on the lookout for Aston Villa wonderkid Carney Chukwuemeka in a prospective transfer deal.

The 18-year-old midfielder has long been considered as a great Villa Park prospect, but according to the Guardian, he is ready to turn down a new deal.

This might put Manchester United and Liverpool in an excellent position to sign Chukwuemeka when he becomes a free agent, though Villa is likely to be entitled to compensation as well.

Manchester City and other clubs from across the world are thought to be keeping an eye on the teenager's predicament since he appears to be tipped for a bright future.
