Fulham head coach, Marco Silva has said Samuel Chukwueze must keep working hard to earn a permanent deal at the club.

Chukwueze is on loan at Fulham from Serie A giants AC Milan.

The deal includes an option to buy for around €23m.

The Nigeria international is yet to start a Premier League game since his arrival at the Craven Cottage.

Chukwueze has registered two assists in five league appearances for the Whites.

Silva challenged the winger to show more consistency and work hard in training.

“Too early, but of course we all recognise the quality that Chukwueze has,” Silva said ahead of his side’s London derby with Tottenham Hotspur.

“We go in the direction to see consistency in the way he’s going to perform, to train every single day, and after, the physical aspect of the Premier League.”
