Former Liverpool Star Compares Super Eagles Youngster To Sadio Mane

He’s only been playing with him for just three months, but Alberto Moreno knows a star when he sees one and thus believes Villarreal have their own Sadio Mane in Samuel Chukwueze.

Chukwueze profile has been on the rise since he made his debut for the Yellow Submarines last season. The 20-year-old is touted as one of the next big stars in La Liga, an opinion Moreno shares.

The Spanish international who is currently a teammate of Chukwueze at Villarreal believes the Super Eagles star has what it takes to be one of the best in the world. He went further to compare his skill set to that of Sadio Mane who Moreno played with at Liverpool.

He’s very good, very good,” Moreno said. It’ll seem like bullshit, but I’ve been following him since last season. He’s super incisive, fast; you never know where he’s going to go.”He’s strong too, young, and defined.

He’s a lot like Sadio Mane. I’ve seen the two in training and they’re very similar.”He has a lot to learn because he’s very young, but he’ll become an even better player than he is [now].”
