The senior national team of Nigeria will later this month take on Guinea Bissau in the race to be at the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations. The back to back game will see Nigeria play at home first before travelling to play in the reverse tie.
Ahead of the game , the coaches of the Nigerian team led by Jose Peseiro will be excited that one of the players they are counting on to deliver is currently having his best season ever since he turned professional.
That player in question is winger Samuel Chukwueze after his brace of assist yesterday helped his team to a 2-0 win over Almeria in the Spanish LaLiga yesterday. He supplied both balls for the goals scored by Gerard Moreno and Jose Luis Morales respectively.
It takes his assist count for the season in the league to five and in between he also has three goals to his name. His best ever return in a season at the club. In all competitions he now has eight goals as well.
For a player who has long been criticized for his poor decision making in the final half of the pitch, it’s remarkable to see how he is enjoying a turn around since the coming of coach Quique Setién.
Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro will be hoping to have the 23 year old in the same form when he arrives Nigeria later this month for the AFCON qualifiers.
