Two Chelsea players, Carney Chukwuemeka and Aaron Anselmino, have flown to Germany to complete moves to Borussia Dortmund, marking another major development in the summer transfer window.

Reports confirm that Chelsea and Dortmund have reached a full agreement for the transfer of Chukwuemeka on a permanent basis, with Anselmino set to join on a loan deal.

Medical exams for both players are expected shortly after their arrival.

The transaction is believed to be worth around £24 million including add-ons and a sell-on clause. Chukwuemeka’s transfer is permanent, while Anselmino joins on loan without an option to buy.

Chukwuemeka follows loan spell at Dortmund

Chukwuemeka, 21, spent the latter half of last season on loan at Dortmund.

The permanent deal now brings full closure to that agreement.

Meanwhile, Anselmino arrives from Chelsea having previously played only limited minutes in the Club World Cup and a pre-season friendly.

Chelsea will have generated over £270 million in player sales this summer once the Chukwuemeka is complete, bringing the club closer to meeting UEFA Financial Fair Play requirements.

Other players expected to leave this summer are Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku, Tyrique George, Raheem Sterling, Ben Chilwell and Axel Disasi amongst others.
