In a recent interview, Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi praised the qualities Samuel Chukwueze brings to Fulham after securing a loan move from .

Though Chukwueze has yet to start a full match for his new club, he’s begun to make an impact off the bench registering his first Premier League assist against Bournemouth.

Iwobi explained that he and fellow Nigerian Calvin Bassey have been helping the winger settle into the squad and regain confidence after limited opportunities at Milan. “We’ve played with him for so many years,” Iwobi said. “He’s able to dribble, beat a player, provide assists, and also get goals himself.”

A viral video recently dubbed Chukwueze as one of football’s most underrated players. Iwobi lamented that modern football’s heavy focus on statistics often obscures a player’s real value: “If you actually watch him play, you’ll see how many chances he creates in a game. They’re not always converted, which is why some people underrate him.”
Chukwueze joined Iwobi and Bassey in Nigeria’s 2–1 victory over Lesotho, featuring in the matchday squad for the Super Eagles.

Editorial

Iwobi’s support of Chukwueze as more than mere teammate camaraderie it’s a signal of belief in talent that deserves fuller appreciation. In an age where statistical output often eclipses nuance, the endorsement from a seasoned professional like Iwobi may help shift perceptions.

Chukwueze’s loan to Fulham affords him a fresh stage to prove his worth. His speed, dribbling, and vision seem evident, yet he’s been under‑utilised at Milan. The real test will come in his ability to turn those flashes into sustained excellence at Craven Cottage. Support from teammates like Iwobi and Bassey ensures that settling in is less daunting—but on the pitch, he must still deliver.

The broader issue this raises is how young players are judged. Goals and assists are important, but they don’t tell the full story chance creation, spatial awareness, link‑ups, and off‑the‑ball movement matter too. If Chukwueze can translate those hidden assets into tangible results, he will force doubters to reassess.

We hope this season serves as his breakout. For Fulham, for Nigeria, and for Chukwueze himself, this is a chance to step from the shadows of underestimation into the spotlight his talent commands.

Did You Know?

Chukwueze made his senior national team debut in 2018 at age 19.

He scored 10 goals in 31 appearances for Villarreal before moving to AC Milan.

Iwobi is the nephew of Nigerian football legend Jay‑Jay Okocha.

Fulham’s home ground, Craven Cottage, is among the oldest stadiums in English football.

Players with high chance‑creation metrics often attract interest from top clubs even if their goal tally is modest.
