Chukwueze Scores Stunning Goal, His First In Serie A (Video)

 

Nigerian forward who plays for AC Milan, Samuel Chukwueze has scored his first Seria A goal.

 

He scored the goal over the weekend against Hellas Verona.

 

Chukwueze was overjoyed following the feat.

 

 “I am really happy. I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time,” the Nigerian winger told DAZN as quoted by Milannews. “These first few months were not easy, but I’ve continued to work hard. Winning was important, and I want to keep scoring to help the team.

 

Chukwueze was asked to describe his first months at Milan.

“They were not easy as who plays in my position [Pulisic] is doing well and scoring many goals,” he replied smiling.

 

 

Pulisic scored in Milan’s last four games including Sunday’s win in Verona. The USMNT captain has netted 12 goals across all competitions with the Rossoneri this term.

 

Lastly, Chukwueze sent a message to Milan fans: “Thanks, I hope to score more goals for you.”

 

Chukwueze joined Milan from Villarreal in a €20m deal last summer, but prior to today’s match, he had only scored two goals in 22 appearances across all competitions. Both his goals came in Champions League matches, including one away at Newcastle in December 2023.

 

Pulisic, on the other hand, has already bagged 12 goals in 39 matches across all competitions, setting a new personal record for goals scored in a single campaign.
