Fulham Coach Thrilled by Samuel Chukwueze’s Impressive Impact at the Club

Fulham’s head coach, Marco Silva, has expressed satisfaction with Samuel Chukwueze’s remarkable impact since joining the club. The Nigerian winger transferred from AC Milan on the last day of the summer transfer window. Initially, he struggled to find his footing, only making substitute appearances.

Chukwueze’s Rising Form

Chukwueze’s breakthrough came two weeks ago when he entered the match against Sunderland as a substitute. He assisted the winning goal and earned the Man of the Match accolade. His performance convinced Silva to give him a starting role in the match against Tottenham last Saturday.

Impressive Premier League Debut

In his first Premier League start, Chukwueze contributed significantly, securing an assist in Fulham’s 2-1 victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Following the match, Silva spoke highly of Chukwueze’s development. “I’m very pleased with him,” he noted. “It was only a matter of time before he found his rhythm.” Silva emphasized the importance of Chukwueze’s performance for the team’s objectives.

Regret Over Late Arrival

Silva acknowledged that Chukwueze’s late arrival affected his integration into the team. He had missed the pre-season training, which contributed to his slow start. “I would have preferred to have had Chukwueze earlier,” Silva stated. “The Nigerian boys create a great atmosphere for us.” Silva remains optimistic about Chukwueze making a positive contribution in upcoming matches.

Upcoming Challenges

As Fulham gears up for a challenging match against Manchester City, Chukwueze is projected to play a vital role. The 26-year-old aims to maintain his strong form while also preparing for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Fulham’s management and fans are eager to see how Chukwueze continues to evolve in his new role.
