EPL: Sidwell Praises Chukwueze’s Impact at Fulham, Calls Him Brilliant and Creative
Story: written by Joseph December 9,2025
Former Chelsea midfielder Steve Sidwell has praised Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze for his outstanding performances with Fulham in recent Premier League matches.
Chukwueze, who joined Fulham on loan from AC Milan last summer, has quickly adapted to life in England, scoring five goals in seven appearances prior to the clash against Crystal Palace.
“He’s been brilliant. He brings intensity, creativity, and guile—exactly what this Fulham team needs,” Sidwell told Sky Sports.
“He makes clever runs, gets behind defenses, finds good positions, and isn’t content playing the safe ball.”
The Nigerian international is set to join the Super Eagles soon for the final preparations ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Despite Chukwueze’s contributions, Fulham were unable to secure a win, falling 2-1 to Crystal Palace in the London derby on Sunday.
