Arsenal has been named as one of the clubs interested in Samuel Chukwueze of Villarreal as the Nigerian impresses this season.
The winger has been on their radar before now, but the Gunners did not make their move for him.
He now has at least 20 goals and assists combined this season and has caught the attention of the Gunners again.
A report on Sports Witness reveals Arsenal are in a race with West Ham to add him to their squad.
The Gunners see him as a player who can help their attack and Mikel Arteta is confident the winger will be important to his team if he moves to the Emirates.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Chukwueze will be a fine addition to our squad and he will help us rest Bukayo Saka for some games.
Saka has been a fine player, but he needs to rest in some matches and Chukwueze would be a good alternative.
The Nigerian has been improving every season he spends at Villarreal and if we do not act fast to sign him, West Ham could win the race for his signature.
However, if we show serious interest, we expect him to choose us over the Hammers because we are a much bigger club.
Not sure Arsenal has a genuine interest in this kid
I watched him playing extremely well that all the clubs are absolutely interested but if we gunners do a good move then he’ll do amazing things at the Emirates stadium.

Good move
He’ll be an awesome addition, would love to have him, Arteta and Edu should ensure we get strong and fast CMs.
Arteta and Edu must be very stupid for thinking of Chukwueze as a backup to Saka.
Chukwueze is a starter and will send Saka to the bench unless Saka plays as a second striker.
I wish Chukwueze goes to Real Madrid though.
He’d adapt very well to that right wing and Arsenal system of play. Although he won’t come cheap but he’d be a great addition to the team.
Not cheap cos villareal had placed £80m on his gead
If you think Chukwueze will go to Arsenal to play 2nd fiddle to Saka, you have another think coming.
