After joining the team on trial, Caleb Chukwuemeka, a free agent, is unlikely to receive a contract from Bristol City.
After playing for their U21 team, Caleb Chukwuemeka is unlikely to be accepted by Bristol City on a free transfer.
Chukwuemeka, who once played for Aston Villa, is the older brother of Chelsea midfielder Carney.
Chukwuemeka still has potential, but it’s unlikely that Bristol City would sign him, and he’d be better off finding a long-term home at the senior level.
After the attacker played for their U21 team, Caleb Chukwuemeka is ‘unlikely’ to be signed by Bristol City on a free transfer.
Caleb Chukwuemeka: who is he?
Carney, a midfielder for Chelsea, has an older brother who is a versatile 21-year-old forward.
Chukwuemeka moved to Aston Villa after rising through the ranks at Northampton, where he spent the past few years working with the youth team.
He left the Premier League team, though, in the summer, and he has been looking for a new team ever since.
Bristol City is thinking about signing Caleb Chukwuemeka.
And it was found that Chukwuemeka, who had previously trained with the team, was a member of the Bristol City U21 team that took against Ipswich Town on Monday.
Since the young player was substituted at halftime of a game the Robins would go on to win 2-0, it’s safe to conclude he didn’t stand out.
Since Chukwuemeka is now without a club, they could sign him up for free outside of the transfer window, but Bristol Live reports that a contract is not anticipated to be offered to the player, who has previously spent time on loan at Livingston and Crawley Town.
“Bristol Live understands that Chukwuemeka has been taken on trial with a means for the Under-21 set-up rather than being an immediate first-team consideration, but the Robins are unlikely to offer him a contract.”
Caleb Chukwuemeka is needed by Bristol City.
Chukwuemeka, who joined Villa with his brother a few years ago, was well regarded at the time, so Bristol City’s decision to sign him would have been an interesting one.
His career has stagnated in recent years due to the loan moves not always working out, but he still has a lot of potential to develop and realize that promise.
However, the update makes it apparent that he would have joined the Robins development side, and at this point in his career, Chukwuemeka may not have made the best choice. It will be interesting to see where he ends up because he could use a permanent home where he can demonstrate his senior-level abilities.
Nigel Pearson, the manager of Bristol City, will be pleased with the team he has at his disposal. Despite losing to Leicester the previous time out, they have had a good start to the season.

Bristol City’s manager, Nigel Pearson, will be happy with the group of players at his disposal. They have enjoyed a strong start to the season even if they lost to Leicester the last time out.
For Bristol City, what comes next?
The Robins’ next game is on Saturday when they host Stoke City at Ashton Gate. Given how the Potters are struggling and Alex Neil is already facing criticism from some fans after a lackluster start despite a very busy summer that saw significant changes to the squad, the Robins will fancy their chances.
