While rating the performance of Chukwueze last season, English journalist Sid Lowe who covers La Liga told Pulse Sports earlier this year that Nigeria is going to be a great player. 

"Chukwueze is going to be a great player. He already is a good player, I think he’s going to be a great player,” Lowe said about the Nigerian forward. 

After his breakthrough season at Villarreal, Chukwueze has also become a crucial player in the Super Eagles. 

He also impressed and scored one goal in his six appearances for the Super Eagles during the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) where Nigeria won bronze. 

Samuel Chukwueze started this season with a bang with a goal in Villarreal's 4-4 home draw with Granada in the opening weekend of the 2019/2020 season.
