Former FC Barcelona manager Quique Setien is the reason why Samuel Chukwueze has been in good form this season.


This is according to Spanish football pundit Miguel Quintana after the Nigeria international helped Villarreal CF defeat Real Sociedad 2-0 in a La Liga clash on Sunday.


Chukwueze has scored 11 goals and provided 11 assists for the Yellow Submarine as he enjoys his best season in Spain.


Setien has been in charge of Villarreal since October 2022 and the 64-year-old tactician has been credited for the West African star’s form.


“It is difficult, in fact, to separate what is Setién’s work from what is the natural evolution of the footballer,” Quintana told Radio MARCA.


“But what is evident is that their paths have crossed at the right time for the blessing of Villarreal. and for the blessing of Spanish football.”


Chukwueze, who has scored four goals in 27 international games for Nigeria, is contracted to Villarreal until June 2024.
