Having met Samuel Chukwueze at West Itam Stadium in what he described as the biggest moment of his life, Daga said patience is indeed a virtue.
He eulogized the skillful Villarreal man as humble and kindhearted.
Daniel Daga, who is on the books of One Rocket presented a beautiful portrait to Samuel Chukwueze.
Samuel Chukwueze appreciated the kind gesture and urged the teenager to keep working hard.
