Fulham and Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze has revealed his delight with the way he has gotten off to a good start at Craven Cottage and credited manager Marco Silva for pushing him to be better.

The 26-year-old was a deadline day loan recruit from AC Milan, but injury problems saw him limited to very few minutes. However, the one-time FIFA U-17 World Cup winner has found his creative feet of late, with four goal contributions in his last three games for Silva’s side, including a brace against Manchester City.

“I think I’m happy, very happy about the form I’m in and everything. I think the most important thing is the coach who’s been pushing me more to work hard and remain focused, no matter the impact on the game,” Chukwueze said in an interview on Fulham’s official website.

“Every game is a new game, whether or not I get assists, I just have to keep my feet ready, whether ten or twenty minutes, I have to be ready to give everything.”

Chukwueze was left stunned by the atmosphere of the fans at Craven Cottage during the 5-4 loss to Manchester City.

“The Fulham fans are amazing. I love them as they love me, and sometimes I think I love them more than they love me. Because it was amazing for them to stay from 5-1 to 5-4, till the last minute of the game, makes us want to give more,” he stated.

“I think they deserve more love, more wins, and they deserve to be at the top. They kept singing, they kept pushing us, kept screaming, they’re one of the craziest fans I’ve seen. They’re good, and I like them.”

While Fulham do not have the obligation to make the move permanent, the option was included in Chukwueze’s deal, and the Cottagers can fully secure the services of the fleet-footed winger for £24m, according to the BBC.
