Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze has declared his admiration for Chelsea.
The 20-year-old attacker has been in excellent form with the Spanish club, which has resulted in interest from England and other countries.
While Samuel Chukwueze revealed that he was a Blues fan growing up, he did not indicate he was considering a move away from Villarreal anytime soon.
Chukwueze has three goals and an assist in 14 league appearances this term.
"I was supporting Chelsea. I used to support every team that featured a Nigerian. So my love for Chelsea then was because of Mikel," the Villarreal star revealed per Soccernet.ng.
"I am not going (to Chelsea) because I am a Villarreal player and need to get my confidence more.
"For now, I am a Villarreal player. I am not interested in any other club, I don't want to be distracted by anything anybody is saying.
"I want to concentrate and see how we (Villarreal) can remain up there among the best in Spain. For now, I need maximum concentration.
"Maybe in the future, a movement is possible but right now my attention is on Villarreal. I want to focus well on my club and gain more confidence. Maybe when the time is ripe, I can move."
