Super Eagles star Samuel Chukwueze has asked Victor Osimhen to come play for AC Milan.

Osimhen is currently finding it difficult to get top clubs in Europe to sign him having been one of the top transfer targets this summer. 

The forward has been linked to the likes of PSG, Arsenal and Chelsea in recent weeks but are unable to meet his valuation placed by Napoli.

However, Chukwueze is picturing himself playing with his fellow countryman Victor Osimhen and has asked him to join his club AC Milan.

Chukwueze wants Osimhen at Milan

Chukwueze recently disclosed his light-hearted efforts to convince Osimhen to move to Milan with him, particularly because Osimhen wants to leave Diego Maradona Stadium this summer.

Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, as reported by Pianetamilan, Chukwueze said he has discussed with Osimhen about joining him at AC Milan, but he understands that the move will be difficult.

The winger said, “I would like to close my eyes, open them again, and see him here at Milan. I always say to him. Are you sure you don’t want to come?’ ‘Samuel, you know it’s difficult…”

The Nigerian pair's close relationship is widely documented, and Osimhen was instrumental in encouraging Chukwueze to sign with the Serie A powerhouses just before he was set to depart Villarreal CF.

Chukwueze also spoke about the Milan fans and how Osimhen helped him settle down in Italy.

Chukwueze told Milan TV, “I’m here thanks to the affection of the fans and thanks to Osimhen,

“He told me that Milan is a beautiful club, one of the best, and I should not hesitate to sign with them. He also said that they are fantastic and have wonderful fans.”

Meanwhile, Samuel Chukwueze has promised ‘fans that they will see a new Samu’ in the upcoming season.

The winger is currently on top form in the preseason after providing two assists against Manchester City and scoring the winning goal for AC Milan against Real Madrid.
