Villarreal celebrates Samuel Chukwueze

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how La Liga giants, Villarreal celebrated their Nigerian winger, Samuel Chukwueze, for making his 200th appearance for the team in all competitions since signing on several years back.

The club has hailed the Super Eagles man for his landmark achievement.

It was on April 27 that Chukwueze marked his double-century game for the Spanish side against Espanyol, which ended in a 4-2 win for the 'Yellow Submarine'.

The victory also pushed Villarreal to fifth position on the La Liga table, as Chukwueze and his teammates continue their quest to finish in the top four of the Spanish league.

If they succeed, they will earn themselves a Champions League spot.
