7 things you Never Knew about Samuel Chukwueze....
byEm jay -September 04, 2019



"my parents used to seize my boots and even burnt them."

Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze has risen to prominence this season, becoming a regular for the relegation-threatened Yellow Submarine, appearing in 24 La Liga matches in his inaugural season for the first team.

Hype around the 19-year old winger went to another level at the start of April, after he scored and provided an assist in Villarreal's wild 4-4 draw with Barcelona at the Estadio de la Ceramica.

Chukwueze's performances have not gone unnoticed with a host of European clubs after his signature, despite his minimal experience. Liverpool, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Arsenal, and Leicester City are all interested in acquiring the talented Nigerian's services, but first, he will be looking to inspire 14th place Villarreal to La Liga survival.

With Chukwueze's name set to feature regularly in the summer transfer window rumour mill, here's six things to know about the Super Eagles' rising star...
1. He Has Been Called the Reincarnation of Arjen Robben

Despite playing less than 20 matches in Europe, Chukwueze has already found himself compared to one of the game's greatest modern attackers. As a left-footed right winger with the constant desire to take defenders on and fire at goal, it's impossible not see aspects of the Dutchman's game in Chukwueze.

Robben, who has scored 98 goals in 198 Bundesliga appearances has certainly shown a clinical side that Chukwueze is lacking, although the Villarreal winger has managed four goals this season.




The then 16-year-old was expected to join the Gunners in a £3m move that included fellow Nigerian youngster Kelechi Nwakali, with the pair even being pictured alongside Wenger.

However, the deal fell through at the last minute with Nwakali heading to north London on his own while Chukwueze joined Villarreal in 2017. The failed move will cost Arsenal millions if they are able to entice him to the Premier League this summer.
