New coach of Villarreal Unai Emery has set out a plan to bring out the best in Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze.

Chukwueze has impressed the manager since his appointment in the summer as he was consistent in all of their games in pre season ahead of the start of their first game against Huesca later today.

Emery has already started work with the 21 year old who he described as a talent who can be a world beater if he adds goals to his games. Last season he scored just four goals with three coming in the La Liga.

In his breakthrough season which was two years ago he scored five La Liga goal, one in the Europa League and two in the Copa Del Rey. Emery believe he can be more prolific in the final third and that’s one area he is focused on with the 21 year old in training.

His last top flight league game was on the 14th of April 2018 when he played for ADO against FC Twente. Same team he marked his return with as a loan player from Benfica in search of regular run of games to build his fitness after two years of injury and fitness issues.

Last season he played six games for the B team of Benfica in the Portuguese second division as he ease his way back to full fitness but he suffered a set back which kept him out for the rest of the season.

The 24 year old appears to have buried the demons of that injury hit period of his career as he came through the 75 minutes that he was on unscathed. He was his usually self as well.

He joined the attack with ease and also defended when under attack. A regular run of game will no doubt see him back in the frame of a return to the senior national team of Nigeria as coach of the team Gernot Rohr is a big fan of his abilities.
