Villarreal and Nigeria international winger Samuel Chukwueze believe he is back to his best after dazzling for Villarreal in their 1-0 win over Celta Vigo in the La Liga over the weekend.
Chukwueze was picked as the man of the match for the game and it reminded a lot of people about this ability which appears to be on the wane lately. Although he still maintained the trust of his manager Unai Emery.
For the Nigerian team, he is also very much a part of the plans of interim head coach Austine Eguavoen who handed him a spot in his squad for the World Cup qualifiers playoff against Ghana in March.
22 year old Chukwueze has fresh competition in the senior national team of Nigeria following the invitation of the duo of Ademola Lookman and Emmanuel Dennis from Leicester City and Watford respectively.
He is however unfazed as he believe he is back to his best after series of injuries and knocks the past two seasons. ” I have not been this fit for a while. I feel better now and it’s showing in my game. It’s a gradual process and it’s nice to be playing at the level I know I am capable off”, he told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
