Samuel Chukwueze has openly acknowledged the instrumental role his fellow Nigerian compatriot, Victor Osimhen, played in his decision to join AC Milan.

The renowned Italian club recently confirmed the signing of the talented Super Eagles winger from Villarreal, sealing a deal worth approximately 20 million euros with an additional 8 million in potential add-ons.

Embracing a new chapter in his football journey, Chukwueze will proudly don the number 21 jersey and has committed to a five-year stay at the San Siro.

Similar to Osimhen's move to Italy in the summer of 2020, the Napoli forward swiftly established himself as the standout striker in Serie A, earning high praise and respect across the league.

Osimhen's influence on Chukwueze's decision to join AC Milan was evident when the latter shared their conversation. "The last time we spoke," Chukwueze revealed, "he said to me: 'Samuel, Milan is a beautiful club, one of the best clubs, don't hesitate to sign with them. They are fantastic, they have wonderful fans.'" Osimhen emphasized the fervent support of the Rossoneri faithful, which undoubtedly played a significant role in Chukwueze's choice.

Curious to learn more about the experience of playing against Milan, Chukwueze inquired further, and Osimhen raved about the incredible passion of the Rossoneri fans, describing them as devoted and fervently crazy about football.

The conversation between the two Nigerian stars was filled with camaraderie and friendly rivalry, with Chukwueze humorously stating, "No problem, I replied: 'I hope you know that I will beat you (laughs, ed).' He told me, 'We'll see.'" Clearly, the bond between Chukwueze and Osimhen runs deep, and their shared excitement about their respective clubs sets the stage for thrilling encounters in the future.

With his move to AC Milan, Chukwueze is eager to prove his worth and make a significant impact, much like his impressive performance with Villarreal last season, where he contributed to 24 goals for his former team.

Manager Stefano Pioli will undoubtedly be counting on Chukwueze to carry his exceptional form into the new campaign, as the club aspires to achieve even greater success in the coming season.

The expectations are high, and Chukwueze's talent and dedication will undoubtedly be instrumental in determining the course of AC Milan's journey in the Serie A and beyond.
