Europa League: Ex-Flying Eagles Dazzler Chukwueze Travels With Villarreal First Team To Moscow
Published: October 04, 2018Ex-Nigeria U20 international Samuel Chukwueze could make his second appearance in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday evening when Villarreal face off with Spartak Moscow on match day two.
The left winger was spotted training with the Villarreal first-teamers at the Spartak Stadium ahead of tonight's clash which begins 2000 hours Nigerian time.
Chukwueze made his professional debut for the Yellow Submarine off the bench in their 2-2 draw with Rangers (Glasgow) on September 20.
Last weekend, he played the entirety of Villarreal II's 4-1 rout of Sabadell in the Segunda B Group 3.
Chukwueze was first wanted by Arsenal after displaying his skills at the 2015 Fifa U17 World Cup but it was Villarreal who eventually beat other teams to his signature and the winger is inching closer to a first team promotion despite his limited experience.
The Diamond Academy product showed he is a modern winger at the tournament in Chile, scoring three goals and providing three assists to win the Bronze Boot award ahead of his captain, Kelechi Nwakali.
