Liverpool is set to rival Arsenal for Super Eagles and Villarreal talented winger Samuel Chukwueze, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

According to Spanish news outlet Fichajes, Liverpool are lining up a move for the Nigerian in the winter transfer window which opens in January.

Chukwueze who plays in the La Liga, is one of the highly-rated wide players in Spain. The 23-year-old is very talented and has a huge future in the game if he continues to play similarly.

A product of the Villarreal youth academy, Chukwueze has been a part of the first team ever since 2018. He has had an impressive time with the Yellow Submarines but he will want to go forward in his career.

In 21 games for the La Liga side this season, Chukwueze has scored five goals and provided six assists across all competitions. He was a key player for Unai Emery’s side until the manager left for Aston Villa.

Now, with Quique Setien at the helm, it remains to be seen how the former Barcelona manager uses the Nigerian winger. He could be on the move as soon as January though and that means that Setien might never really get a chance to train him.

Arsenal seems to be a better option for the 23-year-old as he will get more chances in Mikel Arteta’s team. Considering how well the Gunners are performing, he is likely to get Champions League football next season.
