Chelsea step up bid for Chukwueze

English Premier League club Chelsea are ready to firm up their interest in Samuel Chukwueze by making a bid for the Nigeria international, according to reports.

Berlin-based media company Onefootball claims The Blues are planning to make an offer for the Villarreal winger and manager Frank Lampard wants him in his squad for the 2020-2021 season.

Chukwueze won’t come cheap though as he has a release clause of 100 million euros (approximately N41 billion) which has to be activated before the Yellow Submarine can shred their agreement with the 20-year-old. The 2015 U17 World Cup winner has made 68 first-team appearances for Villarreal since debuting in September 2018. (Text courtesy Daily Trust)
