Chelsea's Carney Chukwuemeka will spend the rest of the season on loan at Borussia Dortmund.
The Black and Yellows confirmed the capture of the 21-year-old on Monday evening, revealing that the deal includes an option to buy.
“Carney is an extremely talented box-to-box player who has made a name for himself in the Premier League at a very young age,” said BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl.
"His dynamism, drive and assertiveness, coupled with his great technical ability, make him an exciting player to watch and one who has been a regular at every level of the England youth system since the U17s. That development has stalled a little in London recently.
“Despite the lack of rhythm, we see this as a great opportunity and hope that Carney can regain his old form with us.”
Chukwuemeka has been limited to five appearances for Chelsea this season.
