Ikechukwu Uche has told Villarreal forward and fellow Nigerian Samuel Chukwueze to treat growing transfer speculation as a compliment and continue to develop at his former club.
Chukwueze's form has caught the attention of clubs across Europe, but Uche - who is highly revered at Villarreal - believes the teenager's interest will be best served by staying.
"Chukwueze is doing well at Villarreal so it's only normal to have growing speculation about his future in the media, but he is in a good place," Uche told BBC Sport.
"He should treat all this attention as a compliment and continue to grow because his impressive rise from the reserves to the first team is still fresh.
"Villarreal is a good club, he is being taken care of and he's surrounded by quality players that will help him grow.
"The people there are dedicated to protecting and improving him, so there is no pressure on him."
Ikechukwu Uche is revered at Villarreal where he played a big role in helping the club gain promotion back to the top flight in 2014.
Nigeria's fourth highest scorer with 19 goals, Uche joined Villarreal from Real Zaragoza in August 2011, but was immediately loaned out to then Spanish La Liga newboys Granada, for the 2011/12 season.
But he returned to relegated Villarreal for 2012-13 and emerged as top scorer with 14 goals to lead the team back to the top flight.
In 2013-14, Uche scored another 14 goals as the club finished in sixth place to secure a Europa League spot.
He believes his compatriot Chukwueze, who is capable of playing on either flank, is capable of making bigger impact at Estadio de la Cerámica.
"I've been following his progress and I know some of the people there, so let's just say he has the potential to become a successful player at the club," Uche added.
"I haven't had a chance to speak to him but personally I want him to stay.
"I'm sure he will do what is right for his career, I'm just happy to see another African and Nigerian making a positive impact at Villarreal."
Ivorian defender Eric Bailly and DR Congo's Cedric Bakambu are two notable Africans who have recently made big-money move from Villarreal.
Chukwueze has made 13 appearances this season for Villareal, scoring four goals for the La Liga side.

Nigeria's Football Federation (NFF) says the friendly against Egypt in March will take place at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba, Delta State, southern Nigeria. The Egypt FA had confirmed on 20 December that the Pharaohs would play the Super Eagles after Egypt's final 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Niger. After finalising details with the Delta State Government, the NFF concluded that the fixture, set for 26 March, will take place at the ground named after the country's most successful coach, Stephen Keshi. It comes four days after Nigeria's Nations Cup game with visiting Seychelles at the same venue. Nigeria, the three-time African champions, last played in Asaba six weeks ago when they were held to a 0-0 friendly draw by the Cranes of Uganda. Africa's most decorated nation Egypt and Nigeria met in 2017 Nations Cup qualifying with The Pharaohs earning a 1-1 draw away from home before winning 1-0 in Alexandria to qualify for the finals ahead
Who replaces Uzoho and Ighalo? Nigeria have impressed since a mixed World Cup campaign, comfortably dispatching the Seychelles before a pair of impressive victories over Libya. However, Gernot Rohr has something of a selection headache ahead of the showdown with South Africa as the German looks to get the Super Eagles over the line. In goal, either Daniel Akpeyi or Ikechukwu Ezenwa must deputise for injured Francis Uzoho, although neither has truly inspired confidence to date. Up front, top scorer Odion Ighalo also misses out; will his absence leave Nigeria without a cutting edge?
