AC Milan have made eight reinforcements this summer and three of them have been for the attack. Taking a look at the players who are currently at Stefano Pioli’s disposal, the attacking focus is clear.
As highlighted by today’s edition of Corriere Dello Sport (see photo below), Milan have clearly made investments for the attack. Combining the goals of the attacking signings and the Milan forwards last season, we have a total of 70 goals.
Olivier Giroud bagged 18 goals in all competitions last season, while Rafael Leao found the back of the net 16 times. Samuel Chukwueze, who will meet his teammates for the first time tomorrow, bagged 13 goals for Villarreal.
Noah Okafor scored 10 goals for RB Salzburg and Tijjani Reijnders, although he is technically a midfielder, bagged 7 for AZ Alkmaar. Finally, we have the return of Lorenzo Colombo, who scored 6 goals for Lecce.
Milan struggled to find the back of the net last season and it’s clear that the management has been focusing on strengthening the attacking department this summer. Pioli will certainly have more tactical solutions for the upcoming season, even off the bench which was one of the main flaws last season.
Christian Pulisic only got one goal for Chelsea last season (not included in the 70 tally) but it’s clear that he also could be a very important player in attack for Milan.
