Coach of Spanish LaLiga side Villarreal wants Nigeria international forward Samuel Chukwueze to be more consistent in his game after coming off the bench to claim an assist in their 2-1 win over Levante.
Chukwueze came off the bench in the 46th minute as a substitute for Fer Nino and nine minutes later he set up Gerard Moreno for his 9th goal of the season.
It was the 16th appearance for the Nigerian who has one goal and three assists to his name so far but according to Unai Emery he can do more for the team if uses his talents more consistently.
“ He is beginning to do the things we expect of him this season but he has to be ready to provide it on a regular basis. The talent to do more is there but we have to keep on working to help him do more”, the coach said.
The message is not too different from what he said in December about the 21 year old Nigerian who has these days play more as a substitute despite many expecting him to pin a regular starting spot.
“We need Samu to settle after two years of irregularity in the first team. We need him to make the difference and this year he’s doing it to a lesser extent [than before].
“I opted for him at Anoeta [against Real Sociedad] with the idea that he’d win us the game, but it wasn’t to be. We’ll continue to work with him on it”.
