Struggling Super Eagles star offered to Tottenham, Newcastle, Everton ahead of deadline day

Nigeria international Samuel Chukwueze could be on the move before the transfer window closes, with the AC Milan winger reportedly offered to several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, and Everton, Soccernet.football reports.

According to Calcio Mercato, Milan are open to parting ways with the 25-year-old just six months after signing him from Villarreal. The Italian giants are looking to offload Chukwueze before the deadline on Monday, February 3, and are reportedly willing to accept a reasonable offer.

Chukwueze has endured a difficult spell at the San Siro, failing to replicate the form that made him one of La Liga’s most exciting wingers.

The Nigerian has managed just two league goals and three created ‘big chances’ in 18 Serie A appearances this season, only nine of which were starts. His struggles have left him on the fringes of Sergio Conceiçao’s plans, with Milan keen to cash in.

Despite his underwhelming performances in Italy, Premier League clubs may be tempted by his past displays in Spain.

In the 2022/23 season, Chukwueze was a key figure for Villarreal, scoring 13 goals and providing 11 assists across all competitions. That form convinced Milan to invest in him last summer, but he has since failed to make the expected impact.

Everton, Tottenham, and Crystal Palace have reportedly been made aware of Chukwueze’s availability, though it remains unclear if any of them will make a formal bid.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United and Real Sociedad are said to hold a more concrete interest, suggesting competition for his signature in the final days of the window.

Milan’s valuation of the winger has not been publicly disclosed, but reports suggest he is available on ‘favourable terms,’ indicating the club are willing to negotiate a reasonable exit.

However, the major obstacle could be the player himself, as Chukwueze is believed to prefer staying at Milan to fight for his place.
