LaLiga side Villarreal have started plans for the summer transfer window by identifying targets that will improve their squad for next season, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Presently placed 5th on the log and gunning for a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League, the club want to beef up front line and have among their targets 25 year old Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze.
Chukwueze left the club two years ago for Italian Serie A side AC Milan but the move hasn’t gone down well, and he has been told he is free to leave the club in the summer as he isn’t in their immediate plans.
Villarreal still believe the 25 year old can recapture the form that made him a huge fan favourite with them, and are exploring ways to bringing him back, but face competition from English Premier League side Fulham who were few details from signing him on loan in January before the deal broke down.
