Calciomercato.com writes how Samuel Chukwueze had already shown his qualities with Wednesday’s night’s winning goal and the one scored in the defeat against Dortmund, but now the Serbian-Swiss duo also seems to have started to get going.
Jovic and Okafor – the two forwards who were targeted with criticism for the start of the season for not being up to par – did well at St. James’ Park and the club now expects the growth of both and a leap in quality.
Jovic led a break and then rolled it to Okafor who passed to Chukwueze for the winning goal – a move that was all thanks to the summer signings. In the recent period Jovic seems to have found his groove, with a couple of goals also to his name, while Okafor is back from injury and wants to start contributing.
For this reason the Milan management will evaluate their performances before making large investments in attack in January. The idea, if possible, is to wait until the summer to purchase a striker, while continuing to monitor the possible opportunities that the winter mercato may provide.
Among these there is the road that leads to the Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy, who has a €17m clause but is attracting the interest of several clubs from all over Europe.
