Very good start to the season he’s having.
Despite the fact that Samuel Chukwueze is yet to score a goal this season, his recent performance is fairly promising after recording his second assist in two games.
The Nigerian international only produced two assists for Villarreal last season across all competitions.
While Chidozie Awaziem, who played DM for Hajduk Split, did not perform up to expectations and received a yellow card in the 73rd minute of the game, Samuel Chukwueze had a stellar performance yesterday night.
