Samuel Chukwueze Signs Deal With Jay Z’s Roc Nation | NigerianMonitor

Roc Nation Sports agency have confirmed that they have added Nigerian youngster, Samuel Chukwueze, to their roster after agreeing on terms with the player’s representatives, 10 Management.

The 20-year-old thus becomes the first Nigerian and second African player to be signed on by the sports management agency owned by the rap icon.

Chukwueze joins other big stars like Borussia Dortmund’s Axel Witsel, Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng and Manchester United duo, Romelu Lukaku and Eric Bailly, on the list of football stars associated with the brand.

The Nigeria international had a breakthrough season in the Spanish LaLiga last season with Villarreal, scoring five goals in 26 games.

He also featured for the Super Eagles at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, where he scored a goal in the quarter-final against South Africa and was equally voted as Man-of-the-Match in that crucial tie.

A few days ago, UEFA named the fast-rising Super Eagles winger among the top 50 young players to keep an eye on in the 2019/2020 season.
