Chukwueze’s Revelations: Osimhen’s friendship, Cazorla’s billiance, and Gaya’s toughness

This season, Samuel Chukwueze has excelled for Villarreal, recording the most assists (11) for the Yellow Submarine

Super Eagles forward, Samuel Chukwueze, revealed some fascinating details about his personal life and sporting experiences in a recent interview with Pooja Media, Soccernet.ng reports.

The young talent, known for his electrifying speed and technical ability, shared interesting titbits that shed light on his aspirations, friendships and encounters with formidable opponents.

Speaking on his off-pitch ambitions, Chukwueze disclosed that if he were not a professional footballer, he would pursue a career in either medicine or law, honouring the wishes of his parents. This revelation offers a glimpse into his dedication and discipline, both on and off the field.

During the question and answer session with Pooja Media, Chukwueze was asked to name the best player he has ever played with, and he didn’t hesitate to single out former Arsenal forward Santi Cazorla.
