Samuel Chukwueze Joins Fulham on Loan from AC Milan

Nigerian forward Samuel Chukwueze has signed for Fulham in the final hours of the transfer window, SportsRation reports.

The 26-year-old has joined the west London club on a season-long loan from AC Milan, with an option to buy the player next summer. The full deal could be worth around €26 million.

Chukwueze had a medical earlier on Deadline Day and was confirmed as a Fulham player soon after. Speaking to the club, he said:

“I’m so happy to be here. It’s an amazing club. It feels like home, because I have my people around me. I feel at home already, and I can’t wait to get started.”

Chukwueze had been at AC Milan for two years but found it difficult to show his best form, scoring only four Serie A goals in 51 matches.

He will wear the number 19 shirt at Craven Cottage and joins up with fellow Nigerian internationals Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey.

Busy Deadline Day for Fulham

Chukwueze’s arrival is part of a busy final day of the transfer window for Fulham. The club are also working on deals for:

• Kevin (Shakhtar Donetsk)

• Tyrique George (Chelsea winger)

• Jonah Kusi-Asare (Bayern Munich forward)
