•As Nigerian winger poised for Fulham’s debut

Super Eagles star, Calvin Bassey has revealed that his greatest of all time [G.O.A.T]  is Thierry Henry, while compatriot Samuel Chukwueze favours Portuguese maestro, Cristiano Ronaldo, Soccernet.ng reports.

The English Premier League has witnessed may great footballers who have distinguished themselves from their mates with their consistency and impressive performances.

From the goal machine Alan Shearer, to Thierry Henry to John Terry, to Cristiano Ronaldo, to Eden Hazard, the Premier League has had so many greats.

Even Liverpool star, Mohamed Salah, who still looks great at 33 can’t be left out.

Before their training session on Thursday, some Fulham stars were asked about their picks for the greatest player to grace the Premier League, and they had interesting choices.

Chukwueze and Rodrigo Muniz picked Ronaldo, while Bassey, Emile Smith-Rowe, Bernrd Leno, Sasa Lukic, Kenny Tete, and Robinson Antonee chose Henry.

Harrison Reed was the only one who mentioned Kevin De Bruyne.

After flopping at AC Milan, Samuel Chukwueze has to pick up the pieces of his career and shine at Fulham this time.

It’s a new environment for him, as he has never played in England, but he has two Super Eagles stars for company - Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey. So, adjusting to life there should not be tough.

Chukwueze signed a season-long loan deal, so he has to do well and stack up the numbers with the Cottagers. If he does well, the club will definitely make his transfer permanent.
