Nigeria teenage sensation Samuel Chukwueze was on target again for
Villarreal team B as they beat Fuenlabrada 2-0 to reach the Segunda B
play off final in the Spainsh lower division.
The former Golden Eaglet star opened the scoring in the ninth minute
before Dani Raba added a second in the 71st to ensure the win.
The 19-year-old midfielder has been in an impressive form since moving
to Spain after his wildly publicized transfer to Arsenal collapsed,
netting a stunning solo goal and providing an assist in the first-leg
of their 3-2 aggregate win over Athletic Bilboa in the quarter-finals
of the play off.
The former Diamond Academy player was an integral member of Nigeria’s team that won the U17 World Cup in 2015 where he won the Bronze Boot.
He is however living up to expectations at Villarreal and he is
already tipped for rapid progression to the first team.
Chukwueze started the season with the Spanish side’s U19 team and also played for the team C, but after an impressive campaign which saw him net seven goals playing from the wings including a stunning hat-trick in an 8-3 win over UCD Murcia, the club decided to promote him to the team B.
He is expected to join up with Paul Aigbogun’s Flying Eagles team at
their camp after the play off next month for the African Youth
Championship qualifiers.
