Samuel Chukwueze has revealed that Napoli striker and his international teammate, Victor Osimhen, played a vital role in his move to AC Milan.

Sunrise reported that the 24-year-old joined the former Serie A champions in a €20m deal plus €8m add-ons on Thursday.

Speaking shortly after signing a five-year deal with the Rossoneri, Chukwueze said Osimhen told him to come to Italy, saying Milan is a very nice club and the fans are amazing.

“We [I and Osimhen] joked about it [my transfer to AC Milan] the last time we chatted. He [Osimhen] said, ‘Samuel, AC Milan is a very nice club. It’s the best club. Don’t hesitate to sign with them. They’re fantastic. They have good people and their fans are amazing.’

“I said, tell me how do you feel when you are playing against them?,’ and he said, ‘Their fans are amazing. They’re crazy about football.’

“I said okay, hope you know I’m going to win you? And he said, ‘Let’s see how it goes,” Chukwueze told Milan TV.
