AC Milan signed Samuel Chukwueze from Villarreal this summer and the Nigerian was the most expensive signing of the summer. The Rossoneri are now hoping that the winger can redeem himself against Genoa.
Including bonuses, Chukwueze was the most expensive player of the summer at €20m plus €8m in bonuses (read our summer breakdown on Substack). So far, however, the 24-year-old has not really impressed.
Apart from a good outing against Newcastle, the Nigerian has struggled and this was evident in the game against Dortmund, as he missed the biggest chance of the game. As highlighted by Gazzetta Dello Sport (via SempreMilan), tomorrow’s clash against Genoa could be the perfect opportunity for Chukwueze.
Milan didn’t sign him as a backup for Christian Pulisic, as the newspaper continues, and want to see the player they saw at Villarreal in 1v1 situations. The winger himself knows that he must do better and it would be great to shine ahead of the international break.
Hey stop there. Where from all this unecessary pressure. Give him a break.How do you type he missed the biggest chance. How many minutes did he play. Giroud missed his chance, Theo did too. Reinjders missed his chance,Pulisic missed his. Why then do you type Chukwueze missed the biggest chance. Be fair with your judgment and stop this unecessary pressure. This is his first season. Don’t do stuff to kill his confidence. The experienced ones are missing chances,how much more a new player.
Honest truth some sentimental judgement I see here sometimes
Yes, Reijnders missed more chances than him, and way better. 2 games in a row. I don’t see people writing about that.
Les go chukwuuuuuuuu
You don’t have to reply every news her at sempremilan eh! Many sport journalist over there just follows their whim and type whatever comes to their head just so as clickbait!
Don’t be surprise that many of them writers are even sorry for themselves when they came up with their false news…
Come on man, how would it feel if you came to work and all day you have nothing to do but just staring at the computer? …. Many news at sempre Milan are actually clickbait and falsified…
Yes. This guy should be playing in 1st team against weaker opponents to get into his “zone”. Don’t play him against PSG if he isn’t ready, but games like this, 100%.
