Romano: Leeds and Newcastle links ‘not true’ as Milan believe in De Ketelaere

Charles De Ketelaere has received some criticism since arriving at AC Milan in the summer. The Rossoneri paid €35m for his services and that price tag hasn’t been matched by the performances yet. 

In his latest column for CaughtOffside, Fabrizio Romano stated that he has heard some speculation with regard to the future of De Ketelaere. The transfer rumours however, as he puts it, are ‘not true as Milan believe in the player a lot.

Newcastle and Leeds have both been linked with the player since he joined Milan, per VoetbalKrant, but the Rossoneri clearly want to give De Ketelaere a chance to blossom. We have seen it before at the club, such as with Sandro Tonali, and thus patience is needed.

De Ketelaere came off the bench against Spezia last night and while he didn’t have a huge impact, he showed off some skills. A goal, or maybe even an assist, could do him really well and perhaps unlock his abilities.
