Arsenal Football Club is reportedly eyeing Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze, as a potential replacement for Bukayo Saka, should the English international ever decide to leave the club.
According to sources, Arsenal scouts have been closely monitoring Chukwueze’s performances at Villarreal, where the 24-year-old has been showcasing his talents in La Liga and European competitions.
Chukwueze, known for his blistering pace, dribbling ability, and versatility on the right wing, has impressed many with his performances. His style of play has drawn comparisons to Saka, with many suggesting that Chukwueze could step in to fill Saka’s boots, should he make a move to another top European club in the future.
Arsenal’s interest in Chukwueze, is seen as part of their ongoing efforts to strengthen the squad and plan for the future. While Saka remains a key player for the Gunners, his rise to stardom has led to increased attention from some of Europe’s elite clubs. This has prompted Arsenal to begin looking for potential long-term replacements or reinforcements for the England international.
Chukwueze’s contract with Villarreal is set to run until 2024, which may provide Arsenal with a potential opportunity to secure his services at a reasonable price. However, competition from other top clubs, including those from the Premier League, is expected to make any transfer negotiations challenging.
Arsenal fans will be keen to see whether the club can bring in a talent like Chukwueze to bolster their attack, particularly if they wish to maintain their attacking dynamism in the years to come
