Samuel Chukwueze seems to be happy with how his time at Fulham is going, especially after netting twice against Manchester City.
After providing two assists in the previous two Premier League games against Sunderland and Tottenham, Chukwueze went up another level on Tuesday night as he scored two lovely goals past Gianluigi Donnarumma.
There has already been talk about the future of the Nigerian off the back of it, with Calciomercato.com confirming that Fulham have an option to buy him for around €28m, but that the winger has not ruled out the idea of returning to Milan to fight for a spot in the squad.
‘Finding myself’
Chukwueze reflected on a dramatic evening at Craven Cottage as his side were eventually beaten 5-4 by Manchester City in a thrilling game. He spoke to Fulham’s official website after his first two goals in English football.
“It was a crazy game today. We conceded goals we shouldn’t have conceded but I liked the spirit of the team for the comeback. The chances we created in the second half were almost there,” he said.
“It was a difficult one to take because we wanted three wins in a row and it didn’t happen, but we’ll keep our heads up. We fought until the last minute and on Sunday (against Crystal Palace) we’re going to give everything for the fans.
“For me, I always believe. If we don’t believe, we won’t score. Everybody believed that we could come back – the team, the coach and the fans. The fans were amazing – supportive from 5-1 to 5-4. We gave everything and I think we need to lift our heads up and say we fought well. We have to move on.
“For me, it’s a good feeling to score two goals but not a good feeling to lose. If I had scored my two goals and we won, it would have meant a lot to me – but for now, it doesn’t mean a lot.
“I think I’m finding myself. The coach believes in me. That’s the most important thing – a coach that believes in you, pushes you and the fans. My teammates push me a lot, so I have to give them credit and the coach credit as well.”
