Samuel Chukwueze urges Victor Osimhen to join him at AC Milan
Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze has been vocal about his desire for fellow Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to join him at AC Milan.
Despite the ongoing interest from top European clubs such as PSG, Arsenal, and Chelsea, Osimhen remains at Napoli amid challenges in meeting his transfer valuation.
Chukwueze’s Appeal to Osimhen
In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Chukwueze revealed his attempts to convince Osimhen to make the move to Milan. “I would like to close my eyes, open them again, and see him here at Milan,” Chukwueze said. “I always say to him, ‘Are you sure you don’t want to come?’ But he responds, ‘Samuel, you know it’s difficult…’”
Chukwueze’s effort to persuade Osimhen is driven by their strong relationship and shared vision for success at Milan. Chukwueze has been instrumental in settling into the Serie A club, with Osimhen playing a key role in encouraging him to make the switch from Villarreal CF.
Chukwueze’s Milan Experience
Chukwueze expressed his gratitude for the support he has received from Milan fans and Osimhen. “I’m here thanks to the affection of the fans and thanks to Osimhen,” Chukwueze said. “He told me that Milan is a beautiful club, one of the best, and I should not hesitate to sign with them. They are fantastic and have wonderful fans.”
Preseason Form and Future Promises
Chukwueze has been in impressive form during preseason, with notable performances including two assists against Manchester City and a decisive goal against Real Madrid. The winger has promised Milan fans that they will see a “new Samu” in the upcoming season, signaling his readiness to make a significant impact.
As AC Milan continues to bolster their squad, Chukwueze’s appeal to Osimhen reflects both his personal desire and the strategic interest in strengthening the team with one of Nigeria’s top forwards.
