AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze has expressed his pride and delight after finally signing for the club, pledging to help them win trophies.
Milan went into the summer needing an upgrade on the right flank and it quickly became apparently that Chukwueze was the name that they were working on above all, after a season in which he amassed 13 goals and 11 assists for Villarreal.
An agreement was found with the LaLiga side and after his medical was completed, Milan announced on their website that the Nigerian forward has signed for the Rossoneri on a five-year deal, therefore until June 2028.
Chukwueze spoke to Milan TV as part of his official unveiling and explained just what it means to be joining one of Europe’s most prestigious clubs.
“When I learned that Milan wanted to sign me, I was nervous. Then I saw the fans sending me messages telling me to come here. They pushed me to come here, sending me messages and tagging me telling me to come here,” he said.
On learning that Milan were interested: “I thought it was a joke, then he sent me a draft of the contract with Milan and I understood it was real. I didn’t think twice and said yes.”
On his consistent improvement: “In six years you continue to learn, in Spain I learned a lot and I got used to European football. I can’t wait to start playing here because here I can grow again. I can’t wait to hear the chants of the fans.”
On Victor Osimhen: “He told me that Milan is a beautiful club and not to hesitate to sign with them and that their fans are wonderful, that they are crazy about football. I told him I hope you know I will beat you. He told me: ‘Let’s see how he goes’. He’s a good boy, he played an important role in making me come to Milan.”
On his new team-mates: “I can’t wait to meet them, I’ve seen them play they are fantastic, I think they can improve me, they made a very good impression on me as well as the new signings, buying them was a good thing for the club.”
On his idols: “Kaka. The goal he scored in the Champions League against Manchester United was incredible. He is my favorite AC Milan player. He was truly a God. I saw all the crazy things he did with the Milan shirt.”
On Carlos Bacca: “I played with him and I also came here because he played for Milan.”
“When I learned that Milan wanted to sign me, I was nervous. Then I saw the fans sending me messages telling me to come here. They pushed me to come here, sending me messages and tagging me telling me to come here,” Fire Ottavio, hire the fans 💀💀💀
He’s such a likeable character. Really happy we got him!!
Nice that he gave props to the fans and well done to the Milanisti who made him feel so welcome
“Kaka. The goal he scored in the Champions League against Manchester United was incredible. He is my favorite AC Milan player. He was truly a God. I saw all the crazy things he did with the Milan shirt.”….ummm which one? You got like 3 to choose from but we know “which” one lol 😂
You know the crazy he’s talking about.. knotting Heinze and Evra together before putting the ball pass VDS
Yuuuuuup 😁😁😁😁we all knew that the ONE 😁
Awww man the memories I tell ya
He was such a sight to behold
Kaka’s number was available yet he chose 21🤔
You don’t try to play as God from the get-go.
You gotta earn that right.
On Victor Osimhen: “He told me that Milan is a beautiful club and not to hesitate to sign with them and that their fans are wonderful, that they are crazy about football. I told him I hope you know I will beat you. He told me: ‘Let’s see how he goes’. He’s a good boy, he played an important role in making me come to Milan.”
Who needs Paolo Maldini when we can have one of our rivals best players help us recruit better players for us. Victor Osimhen managed to help us finally get a RW, something that Maldini couldn’t do in 4 years.
Osimhen Milanista
What did I say abt the osimhen persuasion 😉
So happy about this transfer and reading his interview and seeing him interact wiith the fans yesterday makes me even more happy about it. He seems like a class act both on and off field and he seems like a very likeable young fella.
Welcome to the club im so hopefull and excited about his arrival.
A truly impressive young man indeed
We will have very strong wingers for next season : Pulisic, Chukwueze, Leao, Okafor. Very fit for UCL team that after all the titles.
I wonder will Colombo & Lazetic stay to cover Giroud ?
Welcome to the club, Samuel Chukwueze! Bring havoc to that right wing!
So excited, rhe prospect of Leao and Chucky on each wing is crazy.
We don’t need Maldini if we can get these high class players for Milan.
Osihmen has met his match.
Okafor, Chukwueze, and Tomori all are Nigerian! Up Naija!
#ForzaMilan
Good luck
Welcome to the Rossoneri.
I am super excited as a Nigerian because this is the first time my national team player will be at a club I have followed since the year 2000, after Taribo West.
I just can’t wait.
Welcome my name sake, Samuel.
Thank you Oshimen for your story about Milan. Really appreciate your honest about Milan, despite you are our opponents in the league. It bring Chuky to us. Thanks again and welcome Chuky…
Truly Samuel chukwueze is a good winger and he is going to help AC Milan to archive their goal..
