He also recently earned his first international cap for Nigeria. The u-17 World Cup winner from 2015, had been widely praised with renowned journalist Guillem Balague speaking highly of his dribbling skills in particular. He told BBC Sport,

“Only 19 and at La Liga side Villarreal, Chukwueze is an attacking midfielder who can play in both wide areas and his dribbling ability is unbelievable.
“He has already scored in the league and cup and you have a player who is new and exciting to watch.”
