Real Madrid and AC Milan are monitoring the activities of one of Nigeria’s best players this season.
European giants Real Madrid and AC Milan are set to go head-to-head for the services of Super Eagles star Samuel Chukwueze.
Chukwuweze has received plaudits for his performances for Villarreal this season, and that has caught the attention of the European heavyweights.
Chukwueze's best season yet
The Super Eagles star has been one of Villarreal’s best players this season, with 13 goals and 11 assists in 47 matches.
Chukwueze has six goals and five assists in 34 league games for Villarreal, his best ever goal contribution in a single LaLiga season.
The 24-year-old also has another four goals in Copa del Rey and three in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Real Madrid to move for Samuel Chukwueze ahead of Villarreal exit
The Super Eagles star could be lining up in Real Madrid’s colours in the Spanish top flight next year.
AC Milan are also reportedly interested as they attempt to revamp their squad after a disappointing league campaign in Serie A.
Both AC Milan and Real Madrid will have to pay the top dollar, however, if they are to sign Chukwueze this summer.
The Nigerian winger’s contract with the Yellow Submarines expires next year, but he is considered a valuable member of the team.
Chukwueze has been a revelation at Villarreal since he broke out in 2018, winning the Europa League with the side in 2019.
