He will be a great addition to Villa attack - Football analyst on Chukwueze's link to Aston Villa

Football analyst Pete O’Rourke has added his voice to the rumours surrounding Samuel Chukwueze's move to Aston Villa.

According to widespread reports, the Nigerian winger is among three players shortlisted by Unai Emery after taking over from Steven Gerard.

O’Rourke believes Chukwueze is one of Unai Emery's trusted players, having coached the 23-year-old at Villarreal in the Spanish La Liga.

He added that the Super Eagles winger will be a great addition to the Villa attack.

“When you get a new manager at a club they always look to sign players that they have worked with before and know. Chukwueze would be one of those that Emery trusts for Villa, he said in an interview with Football FanCast.

“He is looking to improve Aston Villa’s attacking output, and Chukwueze would definitely add to them. He’s a tricky winger who can score goals and provide goals. He’s someone who would definitely add some pace to the Villa attack as well.”

Chukwueze managed 30 goals under the Spanish manager during his two-year stay at Estadio de la Ceramica.

The Villarreal attacker's contract will expire in the summer of 2024.
