We believe in Chukwueze — Fulham boss Marco Silva happy with new signing

Marco Silva is confident that his latest signings, Samuel Chukwueze and Kevin, will provide the attacking spark needed to elevate the Cottagers this season.

The duo could feature for the first time this Saturday against Leeds United, having both completed moves to the club on deadline day.

Chukwueze, who joined on a season-long loan from AC Milan, just returned from national team duty with the Super Eagles of Nigeria, and will be eager to get into the thick of the action against Leeds this weekend.

Meanwhile, Kevin is an exciting arrival from Shakhtar Donetsk, and Silva is optimistic about what the pair will bring to the squad's attacking options.

"We believe the profiles of Chukwueze and Kevin will add to what we’ve been looking for in those areas of the pitch," he said to the club's official website.

"With Adama, Harry Wilson and Alex Iwobi, they’re going to be our solutions for the wide areas of the pitch."

"The first time I saw Chukwueze and Jonah [Kusi-Asare] was yesterday, but Kevin is slightly different because he’s been with us for the last 10 days." Silva concluded, "Him and Chukwueze are going to help us."

This weekend's clash at Craven Cottage offers Fulham a chance to earn their first three points of the season.

For Chukwueze, who endured a difficult spell at Milan, this move presents an opportunity to reignite his career alongside fellow Nigerian internationals Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey.
