Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze has described his international debut for the men’s senior national team as the completion of a “dream year.”

The 19-year-old’s skill and impressive left foot caught the eye after starting for the Super Eagles in Tuesday’s 0-0 friendly stalemate against Uganda at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, in Asaba.

Chukwueze is enjoying a breakthrough season, scoring in both the League and Spanish Cup despite only earning promotion to the first team from the reserves.

“Making my debut for Nigeria only completes a dream year in my professional life,” he told BBC Sport.

“I’ve played and scored for Villarreal this year, and I never expected to get a chance to get into the Super Eagles team, but everything is happening like a dream.

“Some people wait for several years to live a dream but I am grateful to Villarreal and Nigeria for making all my dreams happen in under a year.”

A FIFA under-17 World Cup winner with Nigeria in 2015, he has been likened to his hero and Bayern Munich’s former Netherlands international winger Arjen Robben.

Chukwueze joins a growing list of Nigeria’s U-17 World Cup winners who have progressed to the Super Eagles squad.

such a fantastic player...proud of you man

Many good years ahead of you Chukwueze

He's a good player...but he should work on his delivery...sharper and accurate delivery disorganises the defenders.

But what do I know

try

Good to be grateful

Chukwueze is a Disgrace to the entire IPOB community.
His Dream should be playing for biafra Team not the Nigeria Super Eagle Team.

the day biafrans get sense in this country, I think we should have a public holiday to celebrate that

Looks good in his club soccer clips but our pace of play is way below those so we don't expect the same effectiveness.

Urgent medical attention needed here

He's got a wonderful left foot,which I think should be an asset to the current crops of young talents we have in the SE. Iheanacho,meanwhile is failing to meet up with his billing and what really got him endeared to me in the first place.Love u ,Chukwueze
