Is Fulham the right destination for Chukwueze? Three reasons AC Milan winger should say yes

Samuel Chukwueze is on the verge of leaving AC Milan, with Fulham working on a deal to sign the Nigerian winger in a deal worth around €25 million. 

While his spell at San Siro has not gone as planned, a switch to West London could offer him the opportunity to reignite his career. 

Here are three key reasons why Fulham might be the right move for Chukwueze.

1. A Playing Style That Suits His Strengths

At Villarreal, Chukwueze was most effective when given the freedom to run at defenders and exploit space in wide areas. 

Serie A’s tactical rigidity often restricted that natural flair, limiting his ability to consistently impact matches. 

Fulham, under Marco Silva, employ a more direct, attacking style in the Premier League, with wide players central to their system. 

This approach could provide Chukwueze with the platform to rediscover the form that once made him one of La Liga’s most exciting wingers.

2. The Chance for Consistent Minutes

One of Chukwueze’s biggest challenges at Milan was competition for playing time. With Rafael Leão the established star on the left and constant rotations on the right, the Nigerian struggled to secure a regular starting role. 

At Fulham, however, he would likely walk straight into the starting XI, filling a clear need for pace and creativity on the flanks. 

Regular minutes at Craven Cottage would not only benefit his club career but also sharpen him for international duty with the Super Eagles.

3. A Fresh Start in a League That Amplifies Talent

The Premier League remains the biggest stage in world football, and a move to Fulham could be the reset Chukwueze needs. 

At 26, he is entering the prime of his career, and England’s high tempo and open spaces could highlight his dribbling and finishing qualities. 

For a player who thrives in one-on-one situations, the Premier League may prove to be the perfect environment to showcase his abilities to a global audience.

For Chukwueze, the move represents a chance to step out of the shadows of Milan and establish himself as a key figure in a competitive Fulham side. 

If he adapts quickly, the transfer could mark the beginning of the most productive phase of his career.
