Chukwueze promoted to Villarreal first team after impressive debut season
Nigeria teenage sensation Samuel Chukwueze has been promoted to
Villarreal’s first team after an impressive debut season with the
Yellow Submarines which has seen him score over 10 goals for
Villarreal’s cadet teams.
According to a source close to Chukwueze, the former Arsenal target
will be going on pre-season tour with the Villarreal first team ahead
of the 2018/2019 La Liga season.
The 19-year-old midfielder has been in an impressive form since moving
to Spain after his wildly publicised transfer to Arsenal collapsed,
and cut the eye of the first team handlers after netting a stunning
solo goal and providing an assist in the quarter-final first-leg of
Villarreal’s team B 3-2 aggregate win over Athletic Bilboa in the
Segunda play off.
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 didn’t stop there however, continuing his goal scoring form for the
team B in their run to the Segunda play-off final where they lost
Elche.
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 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.
