Sky journalist Peppe Di Stefano has labelled Samuel Chukwueze as the ‘disappointment of the season’ for AC Milan given his lack of contribution.
Chukwueze joined Milan from LaLiga side Villarreal during the 2023 summer transfer window for a deal worth €20m plus some substantial bonuses, which made him the most expensive signing of a window that saw 10 players arrive.
The 24-year-old arrived after a season in which he amassed 13 goals and 11 assists in 52 appearances for Villarreal. Milan pushed hard and got their man in late July, and there was a lot of excitement about his arrival.
However, the Nigerian winger has amassed just two goals and one assists and he is yet to get off the mark in Serie A, with Christian Pulisic contributing far more to this point.
Speaking on Sky, Peppe Di Stefano spoke about Milan and the disappointment of Samuel Chukwueze’s unconvincing performances so far this season, with his comments relayed by PianetaMilan.
“Slavia Prague are a team that can be beaten but above all Milan must manage things well because there are four games before the break,” he began.
“Pioli has got many players back and therefore is no longer in an emergency and has a good squad in terms of numbers.
“He doesn’t have great alternatives at right wing, because Chukwueze is the disappointment of the season. Only 10 starts and few minutes for a player who hasn’t shown the qualities he showed with Villarreal.”
