As rumours continue to circulate linking players with possible next port of call during the summer transfer window, one player who hasn’t taken a decision on his future is Villarreal Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Chukwueze will head into next season having just twelve months left on his deal at Villarreal and despite a largely successful campaign so far, there has been no talks over extending the contract of the 24 year old.
He currently has 13 goals and 11 assists and it has led to talks of the Spanish side opened to listening to offers for him, particularly as they are also facing a challenge of staying in the loop of LaLiga fair play regulations.
Newcastle United have been credited with an interested in the left footed ace who has 27 international caps for Nigeria. Napoli and AC Milan have also been mentioned among his admirers.
However a member of his management team 10Management said the links to Newcastle United are way off the mark as Chukwueze’s main focus is on ending the season on a high. He said talks about his future will be held at the end of the season.
Speaking specifically on Newcastle United, he said they have not received any offer from the Magpies hence making it highly unlikely that he will be at St. James Park next season. He however confirmed that teams from Italy and France and Germany have already registered their interest in luring the Nigerian away from Spain.
