Villarreal winger, Samuel Chukwueze, could be playing next to Alex Iwobi at Everton next season, according to The Athletic.
The Super Eagles star is back on the radar of Premier League clubs.
The new Everton manager Rafa Benitez is reportedly keeping tabs on the Villarreal winger.
Benitez, is said to be an admirer of the 22-year-old, who has a £71million release clause in his current contract.
Chukwueze, who is under contract with Villarreal until 2023, has also been linked with Liverpool and Manchester United in the Premier League.
Chukwueze, 22, played 40 games for Villarreal last term, scoring four times and providing eight assists.
He played a key role in Villarreal’s run to the final of last season’s Europa League but missed the clash with Manchester United (which the Spanish club won on penalties) after suffering a groin injury in the second leg semi-final victory over Arsenal.
If he however makes the move to Goodison Park, he would be linking up with fellow Super Eagles, Iwobi.
