A consistent and entertaining attacking outlet during the the past five seasons at Villarreal, Serie A is next on his agenda…
“Everyone loves Samu”, a source at Villarreal, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect their position, told“He’s always really happy and in a good mood. His rise from the under-19s to the first team took less than a year, which is unheard of really.”An admirer of Jay-Jay Okocha as he grew up, years of devotion to dribbling means that Chukwueze is one of few players in Europe that can consistently tie defenders in knots.
While not quite as relentless in the volume of his attempts as Vinicius Junior, Chukwueze was the closest player to the Brazilian in terms of the overall total of successful dribbles across the whole of 2022-23, having beaten his man on 86 occasions. Vinicius completed 112, but from 131 more attempts than the Nigerian.More than ever, he is following up his take-ons with end product, especially when it comes to creating chances for his team-mates.
There have been some spectacular efforts along the way too, as against Sevilla below, where Chukwueze’s dribbling ability saw him burst past Marcos Acuna before unleashing an effort that bounced off the crossbar and away. Here against Real Betis, for example, Chukwueze receives the pass and instantly sets up to cut inside, controlling the ball with the outside of his boot. Juan Foyth had made a storming underlapping run, but the winger has already made up his mind.
