The Super Eagles forward has been outstanding this season, and he has continually delivered the goods for Villarreal
The Spanish Laliga has hailed Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze as the fastest man alive Soccernet.ng reports.
Chukwueze has had a brilliant campaign with Villarreal this season. He has shown a lot of potential since he broke into the first team in 2018. His blend of pace and skill has often left defenses in tatters. However, he just failed to hit the mark.
But all that has changed since former Barcelona coach Quique Setien took charge of the team. Chukwueze has become a constant threat in attack for the Yellow Submarine, with 11 goals and 11 assists this season.
His efforts have helped the team to sixth place on the Laliga table, three points from the Champions League spots.
Laliga recognizes what the 23-year-old winger has done for his team this season. And in a post on social media, they dressed Chukwueze in his Villarreal jersey and the headgear of the television series character “The Flash”. Laliga named Chukwueze “the fastest man alive.”

Villarreal are in a tough battle with Real Sociedad and Real Betis for the fourth Champions League qualifying spot. Chukwueze would look to put on a show for the rest of the season and help his side grab one of the tickets.
