Samuel Chukwueze had another assist for Villareal who lost 2-1 to Levante in their final pre-season friendly game on Saturday night, Completesports.com reports.
The game was Villareal’s fifth in pre-season as they prepare for the new campaign.
Chukwueze was involved when former Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin opened scoring in the 2-0 win against Real Sociedad few days back.

This time he set up Paco Alcacer with a cross for the first goal against Levante on 30 minutes after brilliantly bringing the ball down with his chest.
Just five minutes after Alcacer’s goal Levante equalised through Sergio León, with an impressive header.
And in the 62nd minute Levante went 2-1 ahead through José Luis Morales which proved to be the winner.
Chukwueze and former Golden Eaglets teammate Kelechi Nwakali will square off against each other, when Villareal and newly promoted Huesca meet in their first Laliga game next Sunday.

May God bless whoever advised Chuks to stay put at Villarreal, because their coach enjoys wings play a lot, and was known to like to tutor wingers and play from the wings. He brought Bukayo to train with the first team at the gunners, but I couldn’t remember if it was him that gave him his debut. Under this gaffer, I expect chucks to be more productive with his footwork and finishing.
