Arsenal and West Ham United have set their sights on Villarreal star Samuel Chukwueze, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The winger has been one of the outstanding players for the La Liga side this season, scoring 13 goals and registering 11 assists from 41 games. This includes a brace against Real Madrid as he ‘dazzled’ in his side’s 3-2 league win at the Bernabéu.
It’s not surprising to see the 23-year-old’s fine displays have caught the attention of Arsenal, West Ham and other clubs.
The Nigeria international’s contract situation is another reason why these sides are looking at him.
He seems to be aiming to make a switch elsewhere as the newspaper explains he ‘could be thinking of changing’ clubs in the summer.
This has alerted other clubs, especially from the Premier League, where Mikel Arteta’s side and the Hammers are in the picture.
It’s explained both Arsenal and West Ham are ‘going crazy’ to take Chukwueze away from Villarreal after this season.
There’s no mention of the fee needed to carry out his signing or who between Arsenal and West Ham are ahead in the transfer race.
