  • Samuel Chukwueze has attracted interest from English Premier League club Liverpool
  • The Nigerian winger continues to impress at Spanish side Villarreal, threatening defenders from the flanks
  • His contract with the La Liga outfit expires in the summer of 2024, and the club might want to cash in on him

In a bid to bolster his squad’s attack, Jurgen Klopp is looking to land Nigerian international Samuel Chukwueze at Anfield.

The winger has been impressive for La Liga outfit Villarreal in recent times and has attracted interest from the Premier League outfit.

Fichajes reports via Caught Offside that the Reds are already planning a bid for the 23-year-old, whose contract with Villarreal expires in 2024.

If the Nigerian decides not to renew his contract with the Spanish club, they could allow him to leave for a nominal price at the end of the season.

Liverpool needs to strengthen the right-hand side of their attack, and the Super Eagles winger could be a quality backup for Mohamed Salah.

The 23-year-old will add pace and flair to the Liverpool attack, but it remains to be seen whether he is keen to join the Premier League club without the assurance of regular first-team football.

He is unlikely to get regular game time ahead of Salah, and he will have to be content with the role of being a squad player.

Chukwueze flaunts new ride

Meanwhile, Samuel Chukwueze has splashed the cash to acquire one of the latest Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63s.

The Villarreal of Spain winger is one man who will stop at nothing when it comes to luxuries and a lavish lifestyle.

He shared a photo of himself on Instagram, posing beside the ride which is worth around $180,000 (about N132million) to stun his followers.

Chukwueze hails Pedri

Sports Brief earlier reported that Chukwueze has suggested that Pedri, who plays for rival La Liga club Barcelona, is probably the best in the world right now.

Chukwueze, who has been in fine form for Villarreal this season, took to social media to hail the Barcelona star.

Pedri, a quick and creative player, has brought finesse into the midfield for Xavi Hernandez’s men.
