“We just have to help him, and if there’s anything we need to tell him, we will surely do because we got to this stage by listening to people who have been there before us.

“And I think with the way he’s going, he would become one of the best players of his generation.”

Besides his fine form at the club level, Chukwueze has been a key member of the Super Eagles squad and was part of Gernot Rohr’s side that finished third at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
