The Nigerian joined Milan last summer from Villarreal CF where he enjoyed a decade of club football, winning the UEFA Europa League amongst other titles.
The 24-year-old winger has amassed just two goals and one assists. And is yet to get off the mark in the Italian Serie A, with American winger, Christian Pulisic contributing far more to this point.
What Di Stefano said about Samuel Chukwueze
Speaking on Sky ahead of Milan’s Europa League fixture against Czech Republic champions Slavia Prague, Peppe Di Stefano spoke about Milan and the disappointment of Samuel Chukwueze’s unconvincing performances so far this season; with his comments relayed by PianetaMilan.
“Slavia Prague are a team that can be beaten but above all Milan must manage things well because there are four games before the break,” Di Stefano began.
“Pioli has got many players back and therefore is no longer in an emergency and has a good squad in terms of numbers.
“He doesn’t have great alternatives at right wing, because Chukwueze is the disappointment of the season. Only 10 starts and few minutes for a player who hasn’t shown the qualities he showed with Villarreal.”
Recall, AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini talked down on the signing of Chukwueze, Loftus-Cheek and Pulisic.
According to the former Italian international, it’s a waste if resources to get the players into the club last summer.
“There was no need to sign Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic and Chukwueze,” Maldini said as quoted by PUNCH Nigeria.

“You cannot compare the previous four transfer windows to the last one. Milan had different quality options unlike this summer.”
“I would like to point out that all the players who arrived were approved by me, nothing or no-one was ever imposed on me, also because I would’ve left the next day.”
