In a recent interview with Tribal Football (via the Daily Mail), Villarreal CF winger Samuel Chukwueze admitted his desire to seal a move to the Premier League and said, ‘I need to keep on working hard and to keep improving. I really want to play in England.’
The Daily Mail has also revealed that the La Liga prospect has a £54m release clause in his contract with Villarreal which is set to run out in the summer of 2023. The same source has mentioned that the Reds will face stiff competition from Manchester City in pursuit of the Nigerian sensation.
The Rapid Rise Of Samuel Chukwueze
Chukwueze has enjoyed a fabulous season with the Yellow Submarine after putting in a few dazzling displays for them down the right flank during this campaign. He has made a total of 45 appearances for Javier Calleja’s side this term, scoring ten goals while providing four assists in all competitions.
The Umahaia born talent has also managed to secure one international cap for his nation thus far. He has all the makings of a world-class winger as long as he can improve his game and fulfil his true potential over the next few years.
What Will The La Liga Sensation Add To Klopp’s Team?
Chukwueze boasts blistering pace and is a very effective dribbler with the ball out on the flanks. He is always willing to take on his marker which makes him such an exciting player to watch. The Nigeria international needs to add more goals and assists to his game in the coming years if he wants to prove his worth for one of the biggest clubs in Europe.
The addition of Chukwueze will undoubtedly bolster Jurgen Klopp’s attacking options at Anfield. He will increase competition for places within the Reds squad and could also be a potent option from the bench next season.
Chukwueze’s Desire For A Premier League Move: Huge Boost For The Merseyside Giants?
Even though he is yet to justify his value at the highest level for a sustained period, the Villarreal wing wizard has enough in his locker to be an asset for a club like Liverpool. Hence, his recent revelation will be a massive boost for Klopp and his chances of landing the La Liga sensation at the end of this campaign.
