The blues are reportedly interested in Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze and the Blues are keen on signing the Nigerian international in January.
Villarreal boss Javier Calleja has squashed reports linking Samuel Chukwueze with a move to Chelsea.
According to Calleja, it’s important for Chukwueze to ignore Chelsea’s interest and continue his development with the Yellow Submarine side.
“I think Samuel is very grateful to everything Villarreal has given him. He is very young and has much to improve, and he knows it,” he stated.
“It will be difficult for him to find a place where he is more comfortable and more familiar. that in a club like ours.
“He must continue working because in future he will have to face other experiences, know another league.
“He has time ahead and knows that he has the love of the fans and the total support of teammates and coaching staff.”
