Sheffield United may face competition if they want to sign Chelsea starlet Carney Chukwuemeka.

The 19-year-old is still highly rated at Stamford Bridge, but is likely to go out on loan.

Per The Star, Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottam knows he has to work with a tight budget.

Securing Chukwuemeka would be an easy way to improve his squad after promotion to the Premier League.

However, AC Milan are said to have interest in the player as well, per Tuttosport.

The Blades' best hope of signing the player may be to convince him he will play more with them, as compared to Milan.
