Villarreal's Chukwueze Warns Valencia Ahead Of Champions League : Osimhen Is A Great Player

Published: October 22, 2019

Villarreal winger Samuel Chukuweze has identified international teammate Victor Osimhen as the biggest threat to Valencia's ambitions of beating Lille in Wednesday evening's Champions League clash at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy (Villeneuve d'Ascq).

Chukwueze knows all about the qualities of the Lille number seven, having played together with him in the Golden Eaglets, Flying Eagles and Olympic Team before they were promoted to the Super Eagles.

Osimhen has had a brilliant start to his career in France and is the second top scorer in the Ligue 1 with 7 goals while he has found the net once in the Champions League.

''He is a great player, he has a lot of speed and goal, he finishes very well. He is a very complete striker,'' said Chukwueze to superdeporte.

With the exception of the 2-1 loss to Chelsea on matchday two of the Champions League, Lille have not lost a home game since the start of the season., with Osimhen accounting for eight of the 12 goals they scored at home.

The 20-year-old striker is attracting interest from several top teams in Europe ahead of the reopening of the transfer window.
