Chukwueze can become one of the world best players - Ex-Villarreal star Ikechukwu Uche

Former Villarreal forward Ikechukwu Uche is backing Samuel Chukwueze to become one of the best players of his generation.

Chukwueze has scored eight times in 52 league appearances for Villarreal and this season he has four goals and four assists to his credit amid other dazzling displays.
