But Fonseca has challenged the 25-year-old to improve the defensive side of his game.

According to him, the Nigerian should emulate his teammate, Musah, who tracks back to help defenders during games. 

“Chukwueze is adapting well, and he has an impressive attitude. He’s not stronger than Musah defensively, but he can do the same in some games,” he said.

Fonseca’s side will be away to Atalanta at the Gewiss Stadium on Friday.
