For his landing at Milan Samuel Chukwueze gives special thanks
These are the first words of Samuel Chukwueze as an AC Milan player released to the official channels of the Rossoneri club, In which he also told about the decisive role played by Victor Osimhen, Napoli striker and his partner in the Nigerian national team.
“When I heard that Milan wanted to buy me I was really nervous (laughs, ed.). Then I saw the Italian fans, the Milan fans who were sending me messages to come here; wonderful people. My first impression came to the fans; they made me come here. The way they kept sending me messages, tagging me, telling me to come here. That’s what made me come here.”
“The last time we spoke, Victor told me, ‘Samuel, Milan is a beautiful club, one of the best clubs, don’t hesitate to sign with them. They are fantastic, they have wonderful fans.’ He is really a good guy. He played an important role in me coming to AC Milan because he told me that I had to come to Italy.”
