Villarreal manager Javier Calleja has allayed fears of Nigerian starlet, Samuel Chukwueze leaving the La Liga outfit, amidst links with Chelsea and several other European clubs.
Chukwueze has emerged as one of the hottest transfer commodities leading up to the winter transfer window, and has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League.
Calleja is wary of losing one of his most prized assets, and in quotes carried by Spanish news publication Marca ahead of their Copa Del Ray game with Comillas, he explained the swirling rumours on his starlet thus.

“I think Samu is very grateful to everything Villarreal has given him. He is very young and has much to improve, and he knows it,” he stated.
“It will be difficult for him to find a place where he is more comfortable and more familiar than in a club like ours.
“He must continue working because in future he will have to face other experiences, know another league.
”He has time ahead and knows that he has the love of the fans and the total support of teammates and coaching staff.”
Chukwueze is in line to play his first game in the competition this season, as he has been included in the 18-man traveling squad to Logroño.
