Villarreal celebrate Chukwueze after reaching landmark

Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze has revealed that he was close to joining Arsenal after the Under-17 World Cup in 2015, but the deal fell through because they could not agree on terms with his academy

Chukwueze reached a major landmark for Villarreal in April, and the club has taken time to celebrate the Super Eagles striker 

Spanish Laliga club Villarreal have celebrated Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze for reaching 200 caps at the club, Soccernet.ng reports.

Chukwueze has enjoyed a brilliant season with Villarreal, the Nigeria forward has registered 13 goals and 11 assists in 46 appearances for the club.

His performances have proved key in helping the Yellow Submarine to fifth place in Laliga and a slim chance of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.

Chukwueze made his senior debut for Villarreal in 2018, and he reached 200 caps for the club on the 27th of April in Villarreal’s 4-2 victory against Espanyol at Estadio de la Ceramica.

The club has now celebrated Chukwueze for reaching the landmark, giving him a jersey with the number 200.

He was celebrated alongside Yeremy Pino, Etienne Capoue, and Dani Parejo, who reached 100 caps for the club.

Chukwueze has attracted some top clubs with his displays this season. He could be on his way out if Villarreal receive a good offer.
