Sky Sports pundit of Nigerian descent Samuel Obaseki believes that Super Eagles-eligible midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka will get more playing time under new Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino in the new season.<\/p>\n
\nChukwuemeka has struggled for playing time since he arrived at Stamford Bridge from Aston Villa last summer.<\/p>\n
\nThe 19-year-old could only start two Premier League games last season and was a substitute on twelve occasions.<\/p>\n
\nDue to his lack of minutes in his first season with Chelsea, he has been linked with a temporary departure from Stamford Bridge this summer.<\/p>\n
\nObaseki while speaking on the program Transfer Talk on Sky Sports believes that Chukwuemeka alongside Cesare Casadei and Andrey Santos will get game time in the Premier League next season.<\/p>\n

“Pochettino has seen some of the midfielders that have been playing during pre-season; Santos, Chukwuemeka, Casadei who had a good U20 World Cup and I think he has realized the quality he has got at hand.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Obviously it will be naive to think they will all be able to work in the Premier League and play a full season and that is why the Caicedo link makes sense but I think we will see more of them than we initially thought,” Obaseki said on Football Daily.<\/p>\n
\nChukwuemeka has featured in Chelsea’s two pre-season games so far which were against Wrexham and Brighton & Hove.<\/p>\n
\nHe has registered an assist and was also involved in the Blues’ first goal against Brighton.<\/p>\n
\nWith three more pre-season games to be played by Pochettino’s side, the Aston Villa Academy product will have more time to impress his new manager ahead of the new season<\/p>\n
