Charles De Ketelaere is yet to get off the mark in an AC Milan shirt but his starting place is not in question, with Empoli already in his sights.
MilanNews writes that De Ketelaere has not yet shown the extraordinary things he did at Club Brugge since his arrival in Italy, but he is undergoing a very normal period of acclimatisation given that he is 21 years of age and is having to adopt to a new league, country and culture.
Stefano Pioli and the Rossoneri management are convinced of the investment made and place their utmost trust in the player, but soon more output will be expected given the Belgian has just one assist (vs. Bologna) and zero goals in the 453 minutes played so far in Serie A and the Champions League.
There is not too much pressure on him though because the overall feeling is that De Ketelaere is not yet playing with full confidence and that a spark is needed. Empoli seems to be the right match for him to take flight.
