“Chelsea is my favourite team”, “I cried at Champions League final”- Blues target admits his love for Chelsea

We are getting some very interesting Instagram live feeds from players, reporters and those involved in football during the global lock down; which is one small positive to it all.

They are bored, so some are filling there time doing various question and answer sessions, producing some pretty cool content. Nigeria international forward Samuel Chukwueze took his turn yesterday, and spoke about Chelsea.

According to France Football, the 20-year old Villarreal has recently been monitored by Chelsea as a potential target, so that makes his words that little bit more juicy.

He was also reportedly a target for Liverpool, but he says that it is Chelsea that is his favourite team in England, and even revealed a night full of crying after Chelsea lost to Manchester United in the Champions League final back in 2008.

As relayed by Goal, Chukwueze said: “My favourite team in England is Chelsea.

“I was supporting Chelsea when I was young. When Chelsea lost that Champions League final against Manchester United, I was crying all through the night.”

Chelsea are touted to be chasing Jadon Sancho as their main target on the wings, but he is also being heavily linked with Manchester United. Chukwueze could well be seen as a potential backup option.
