Chukwueze to Man City? Guardiola shares warm moment with Super Eagles star to spark transfer rumours

Chukwueze was unstoppable in Fulham’s 5-4 defeat to Manchester City, scoring a sensational second-half brace that turned a rout into one of the Premier League’s wildest games of the season.

Introduced at half-time with City already 5-1 up, the 26-year-old Nigerian winger tore through the champions’ defence with explosive pace and ruthless finishing, pulling two goals back in eight frantic minutes and nearly inspiring an unthinkable comeback at Craven Cottage.

After arriving on loan from AC Milan in the summer, Chukwueze looks to have finally found his rhythm in English football after a quiet start.

Images from Craven Cottage captured Guardiola walking straight towards Chukwueze moments after full-time.

The Spaniard hugged the Super Eagles winger and was seen laughing and joking with him, even though Chukwueze’s brace nearly cost City the victory.

The moment between Pep and the Nigerian sparked conversations online, with some suggesting a transfer could be on the cards, especially as City have struggled for a consistent goal-scoring winger since the departure of Raheem Sterling in 2022.
