Samuel Chukwueze has reacted after winning Nigeria Young Player of the Year award, saying it will serve as a motivation for him.
The winger has been impressive this season for Spanish La Liga side Villarreal, scoring seven goals in all competitions, including his well-taken strike against Barcelona on Tuesday evening.
The forward beat off challenges from Galatasaray’s winger Henry Onyekuru and Sporting Charleroi striker Victor Osimhen to claim the accolade.
"It serves as a motivation to keep working hard for more success," Chukwueze told BBC Sport.
