Former Arsenal forward Charlie Nicholas praised the performance of Nacer Chadli for West Bromwich Albion against Sunderland at the weekend on the Gillette Soccer Saturday show on Sky Sports News HQ on Saturday afternoon (broadcast from 12pm, October 1, 2016).
Chadli featured for West Brom in the Premier League match against Sunderland away from home at the Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon.
The 27-year-old, who can play as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, started the match and played until the first minute of injury time.
The Belgium international scored in the 35th minute of the encounter, as Tony Pulis’s side played out a 1-1 draw with Sunderland.
During his time on the pitch at the Stadium of Light, Chadli took four shots and created four chances.
Former Arsenal forward Nicholas was following the match, and he was impressed with the performance of Chadli.
“He is a clever footballer, both with the ball and without the ball,” said Nicholas about Chadli on the Gillette Soccer Saturday show on Sky Sports News HQ on Saturday afternoon (broadcast from 12pm, October 1, 2016).
“He is very, very comfortable on the ball, probably not always a saying you would associate with West Brom players,” added Nicholas. “He is very, very nice to watch, good to the eye on the ball.”
Chadli joined West Brom from Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.
The Belgium international has been a hit at The Hawthorns and has been one of the Baggies’ best players so far this season.
The former Twente attacker has scored three goals and created seven chances in four Premier League matches for West Brom so far this campaign.
