AC Milan are not just looking to sign one right winger this summer but will aim to get two in, with four targets on their radar.
As reported by this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), Junior Messias and Alexis Saelemaekers both failed to convince last season with Brahim Diaz – who is now gone – even being used on the right at times.
Two signings are therefore sought for that flank, with four candidates. One is a Nigerian who plays in Spain, one is an American stationed in England, one is a Belgian registered in France and the final one is a Dane who plays in Denmark.
Samuel Chukwueze: Chukwueze is the main candidate because he is the right age and has the guaranteed quality to improve that role. The player would be open to the move, but Villarreal want €30m to sell and having just sold Nicolas Jackson to Chelsea they are in no rush.
Christian Pulisic: Pulisic had a very difficult year, the worst in his recent history in fact, and now he is looking for a new club to relaunch himself. Milan admire his quality, versatility and the brand potential he would bring given he is a USA international, but his salary is high.
Jeremy Doku: Doku is a pure winger who spent two seasons at Anderlecht and three at Stade Rennais. He is good in one-on-one situations, has power, speed and the ability to create chances from nothing. However, his scoring record is not great and the Ligue 1 club have asked for €50m to sell in the past.
Gustav Isaksen: The fourth name is the least known and the most aligned with the scouting and data methods that have been talked about so much in recent weeks. Currently at Midtjylland, the Dane scored 18 league goals and attracted plenty of attention, meaning he could be an ideal rotation option.
