Liverpool have been handed a boost in their attempts to sign Samuel Chukwueze this summer, with the teenager revealing he wants to play in England.
The 19-year-old is also being tracked by Manchester City as a result of his impressive displays in La Liga this season for Villarreal.
Chukwueze has scored five times for in Spain’s top division this season and has also provided four assists.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is reportedly keen on the youngster, who has been compared to Bayern Munich’s Arjen Robben in terms of style of play following his successful breakthrough.
And talking to Tribal Football, relayed in an article by the Daily Mail, the teenager admitted he aspires to one day play in England.
Playing in England is still an ambition for me.
I need to keep on working hard and to keep improving. I really want to play in England.
The highly-rated youngster has a release clause in his current deal set at £54m, so Liverpool or City may well have to activate that in order to secure the Nigerian’s services this summer.
