His initial enthusiasm upon seeing the Nigerian flag quickly shifted to confusion when he spotted the AC Milan badge alongside the former Villarreal winger.

In a humorous attempt to pronounce Chukwueze’s name, Speed hilariously struggled with the unfamiliar phonetics.

Meanwhile, Samuel Chukwueze, one of the Super Eagles’ stars, made a notable move during the summer transfer window. The 24-year-old forward completed a transfer to the renowned Italian club, AC Milan, from Villarreal.

While Chukwueze has made five appearances in Serie A since joining Milan, he is yet to contribute any goals. Hence, Stefano Pioli picking Christian Pulisic ahead of him.
