Report: Premier League clubs ready to challenge Fulham for Samuel Chukwueze

Published on by

English Premier League club West Ham are one of the Premier League clubs that are looking to battle Fulham for Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze in the summer, Afrik Foot reports.​

Chukwueze moved from Serie A giants AC Milan to Fulham on a season-long loan last summer and has made an immediate impact.​

The 26-year-old attacker has taken to the Premier League like a fish to water, contributing three goals and four assists in 12 top-flight appearances for the Cottagers.​

With his performances for the club, it is now looking likely that Fulham will push for a permanent deal in the summer transfer window.

They also won’t have to break the bank, as the option-to-buy clause in the contract is set at €24 million.​

However, they might face significant competition from other Premier League clubs who have been impressed by Chukwueze’s performances this season.​

Clubs like Aston Villa, West Ham, and Crystal Palace are looking to bolster their attack and have identified Chukwueze as a potential option.​

The Super Eagles star has already proven that he can thrive in the Premier League, and English top-flight clubs value players with proven experience in the league.​

Unlike Fulham, who hold a €24 million purchase option, these other clubs might have to pay significantly more to acquire Chukwueze’s services.​

The Rossoneri are willing to sell, as they do not see him as an important player for the team under the tutelage of coach Massimiliano Allegri.

Chukwueze will have to make a big decision in the summer. Perhaps the presence of his Nigerian brothers, Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi, at Fulham will influence him to remain at Craven Cottage.​

Nonetheless, the structure of the offers AC Milan receives for him in the summer might ultimately determine his next destination.
