There has been a lot to be desired from the winger’s opening months in Milan, especially considering he was the most expensive signing of the summer. Whilst there is, of course, going to be a period of adjustment to life in Milan and Serie A as a league, an improvement is needed domestically, given his impressive performances in the Champions League.
However, there is the benefit of youth. He is only 24 years old and will only get better with time, something which the club are very confident of. With his age, he is young enough to adapt to the league whilst also then having a period before he reaches his ‘prime’.
Ahead of the game against Empoli, Stefano Pioli shared his thoughts about Chukwueze’s opening few months for the Rossoneri. His full comments from his pre-match press conference can be found here.
Chukwueze’s first four months, an opinion…
“I think he’s a new arrival who is having a little more difficulty in getting into our mechanisms, the others have integrated more quickly. He hasn’t had much continuity, he has had two injuries with the national team. Of course, I expect more because I’m convinced of his qualities.”
