Samuel Chukwueze has expressed delight upon receiving the prestigious title of Best African Player in LaLiga for the 2022/23 season.
Chukwueze emerged victorious over strong contenders, including Inaki Williams from Athletic Bilbao and Yassine Bounou, the goalkeeper from Sevilla, to secure the award.
The 24-year-old showcased an exceptional performance throughout the season, contributing with 13 goals and 11 assists in various competitions while representing the Yellow Submarine.
Furthermore, Chukwueze demonstrated his commitment to Villarreal by featuring in 37 out of the 38 league games during the season, displaying his dedication and consistency on the field.
