Chukwueze has attracted the attention of Europe's top clubs – including Liverpool and Chelsea – after Lionel Messi placed him third in his vote for the Kopa Trophy, an award for players under 21.
The 20-year-old winger eventually finished ninth in the poll, which is voted for by former Ballon d'Or winners.
As a teenager he starred in the 2015 U17 World Cup, scoring seven goals in seven matches as Nigeria were crowned champions.
And Liverpool have been so impressed that they bid €35m (£29.5m) for him in January, according to France Football.
However, the bid was reportedly turned down by La Liga side Villarreal, who are said to be holding out for Chukwueze's £55m release clause to be met.
