“My ambition is to play in the Premier League, but I want to go to a club where I’m really wanted, where I will be a starting player,” the forward told Fast Track.
“Both the coach and club owner have to want me.”
Chukwueze burst into the scene in the 2018/2019 season with Villarreal. He scored eight goals in total and received critical praise for his performances.
He scored one goal in six games to help the Super Eagles to a third-place finish at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Egypt.
This season he has two goals so far for Villarreal and was recently included in a 10-strong shortlist for the Kepa Trophy, which is the Ballon d’Or award for best performing player under the age of 21.
