“The goal in Verona certainly did him (Chukuweze) a lot of good,” Pioli said after the Fiorentina win, as per Milan news
“He is a very positive guy; he stayed with us and worked well during the break. Then I have to tell the truth: if Pulisic hadn’t confided to me yesterday that he was feeling a bit tired, I probably would have let Chris leave, but Chukwu deserved this opportunity, which he exploited very well.
“He is a player who will give us satisfaction because he has quality. He needed more time to settle in, but he knows what we want from him and what he can give to the team.”
He has scored one goal and provided one assist 18 league appearances for AC Milan this season.
