Villarreal boss Quique Setien has resigned to fate and admitted the imminent departure of Nigerian international striker Samuel Chukwueze in the forthcoming summer transfer window.
The 24-year-old Chukwueze helped Villarreal to a fifth place finish this season as the Yellow Submarines secured a spot for next season’s Europa League. He personally had six goals to his credits plus five assists in the la Liga and has an impressive 13 goals across all competitions during this season.
Both Chukwueze and his African compatriot, Senegal’s international striker Nicholas Jackson have been subject of intense transfer speculations for a while and Setien has hinted that there is a growing possibility that the duo may depart this summer.
