According to La Razón, Arsenal, Everton and West Ham are ready to bid for Villarreal forward Samuel Chukwueze.

The 21-year-old has an €80 million (£69.3 million) release clause in his contract with the Spanish side.

La Razón claim that Atlético Madrid are also interested, but are not willing to go anywhere near that figure.

However, the Spanish news outlet claim that Arsenal, Everton and West Ham are willing to start submitting bids for the Villarreal No.11.

In 36 appearances this season, Chukwueze has scored four goals while also recording seven assists.

The 18-cap Nigeria international’s efforts have helped Villarreal into the Europa League semi-final.

So, what type of player is Chukwueze?

Well, when he arrived at Villarreal, the attacker reminded staff members of Arjen Robben, as Goal revealed when speaking to the forward.

Funnily enough, the iconic Dutchman is a role model for Chukwueze.

Goal mention his electric pace, excellent dribbling skills and tendency to cut in on his left foot from the right flank as comparable traits to Robben.

At just 21 years of age, Chukwueze could go on to become a leading player across Europe.

His valuation might seem steep now.

However, by the sounds of things, there’s every chance that it could skyrocket when he has his true breakthrough season.
