The Nigeria international scored 13 goals and provided 11 across all competitions for the Yellow Submarine.
“I feel so happy to win this award,” Chukwueze said.

“But I think I can still do more,” he added. “I want to continue working hard. I’m still young, so I’m still learning. This is just the beginning.”

“I think I can still do more,” he added.
