Kjaer joined Milan on an initial loan from Sevilla halfway through the 2019-20 season and quickly established himself as a leader thanks to his experience, helping a young team through a difficult campaign.
His 100th game came during the 1-0 win over Verona at the weekend and he was given an award at Milanello yesterday, which he reacted to.
“Thank you all so much. A few days ago I was talking to my dad. I arrived in Italy at 19 years old, at Palermo. My dream has always been to play for Milan and now I’m here,” he said.
“Every day when I travel the Milan-Milanello route it always seems like a special road, and I am very proud to be here, especially with all of you. It was a dream and continues to be a dream today. Thank you all!”
🗣️ With pride in his heart 🔴⚫
