Super Eagles<\/a> winger Samuel Chukwueze<\/a> ranks second for offensive duels won by wingers and midfielders in the English Premier League, Soccernet.ng reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200bChukwueze joined Fulham from AC Milan on a season-long loan last summer, and he has proven to be a real catch.<\/p>\n

\u200bOriginally signed under an \u201cobligation to buy\u201d agreement, the 26-year-old winger has played his way into manager Marco Silva’s heart, and he now looks set to be retained permanently at the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n

\u200bThis season, the Super Eagles star has contributed three goals and four assists in 17 appearances for the Cottagers.<\/p>\n

\u200bMost of his goal involvements came in the opening stages of the campaign. However, a new statistic has emerged showing that the Nigerian\u2019s performances this season have been far from a fluke.<\/p>\n

\u200bAccording to Data MB, a platform that compares players across various metrics, Chukwueze is the player with the second-highest number of offensive duels won in the Premier League this season.<\/p>\n

\u200bSamuel Chukwueze better than Saka, Gakpo<\/h2>\n

\u200bData from Data MB shows that Samuel Chukwueze is the winger\/attacking midfielder with the second-highest percentage for duels won.<\/p>\n

\u200bThe only player in his position who ranks higher than Chukwueze is Anthony Gordon. Ranking below Chukwueze is Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, who is widely considered one of the best in the league.<\/p>\n

\u200bFurthermore, Cody Gakpo and Jacob Murphy complete the top five in the English top flight.<\/p>\n

\u200bThis stat highlights that Chukwueze puts in immense effort and contributes much more than just goals. Statistics like these demonstrate how vital Chukwueze has become to Fulham\u2019s setup.<\/p>\n

\u200bThe Super Eagles star’s buy clause is reportedly around \u20ac30 million, and Fulham will likely look to trigger it soon.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
