'I'm happy for him' - AC Milan chief speaks well of Chukwueze after scoring in back-to-back UCL games
Published: December 15, 2023AC Milan technical director Geoffrey Moncada has been impressed by winger Samuel Chukwueze's displays for the club in their last two games in the UEFA Champions League.
Chukwueze, who joined Milan from Villarreal last summer, hasn't found it easy adapting to his new surroundings.
However, the 24-year-old Nigerian found his footing recently and put together a string of promising performances in the Champions League for the Rossoneri.
He has failed to replicate the form in the Serie A, firing blanks in eleven matches, six of which he started.
According to Tuttosport via SempreMilan, Moncada spoke well of the young wideman, stating the workaholic nature of the former Villarreal winger projects a good future at the club.
Against Newcastle United on Wednesday night, Chukwueze came on as a substitute and combined brilliantly with Noah Okafor to fire a powerful shot past Martin Dubravka to seal a much needed 2-1 win for AC Milan as well as a third place group finish and a Europa league play-off spot.
"Chukwueze? I'm happy for him because he's a good guy who works a lot and I'm sure that the future for him will be good for us" Moncada remarked.
AC Milan fans will be hoping the technical director's encouraging assessment proves accurate, and that Chukwueze provides an offensive spark from the wing position as the team pushes to achieve a top four finish this season.
