Chuks should focus on learning how to use his right foot. If he does that, his market value will rise in dramatic fashion, and the big clubs will come calling.
Against GB, time and time again, Chuks would easily beat the opponent’s left back, but because he can’t use his right foot, he would cut back to his left. The GB defenders know he will always do this, so they cover his left, and show him his right, daring him to use that right foot. When Chuks eventually cuts back to his left, as expected, the opportunity is gone. The defender has recovered.
I don talk, talk, talk taya about this matter.
Look at Antony, Raphinha, Saka, Mahrez, Salah, Kulusevski, Mbeumo, Lukebakio. There are many more like these. Brilliant, left-footed right wingers who can also use their right foot when required. Messi himself had this problem for a while, but he also learned to use his right foot, and became even more difficult for defenders to handle.
Chuks has skill and pace. His game is almost complete. If he puts in the work to learn how to use his right foot, he will become unplayable, and the big clubs will start competing for his signature.
