Samuel Chukwueze is still pretty young.
I think he has some great potential. But I don’t know why Aston Villa is so determined to bring him.
As far as I know, he has not scored even ones this season (15 matches)
Unai Emery managed Samuel Chukwueze at Villarreal he must had discovered some potential in him, though he might not be regular goal scorer however he had a one assist in 14 matches due to non regular playing time and I believe Emery wanted to sign in January to beef up Aston Villa attack, he is a young energetic and pacy player who will adapt well in EPL, I watched him played against Portugal when he was used at the right wing for Nigeria in their last friendly match, immediately when he came on he made an instant impact on the game.
Samuel Chukwueze is still at an early stage in his career. He will have to be taken special care of if the actual potential needs to be unlocked from him.
At this point, I am not sure what is actually going to be the best for him in the future at this point.
Jordan Pickford is a very good goalkeeper and I think he can be a good asset for Chelsea.
So far, I have also heard that Chelsea is interested in him, but nothing more has happened.
Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga were not doing badly in Chelsea, I don't think there is any need to sign Jordan Pickford as a replacement for the duo, before Kepa got injured he was in a terrific form keeping clean sheets in many of their matches when Graham Potter was appointed as their manager.
Jordan Pickford is a good goalkeeper. But I agree with you that probably they should not bring Jordan Pickford in right now.
Because they already have to go to goalkeepers in the team. And bringing in Jordan Pickford is only going to cost much more problems in the team.
It will be hard to rotate these goalkeepers at that time. So probably it’s best that they do not bring him in.
