Nigerian duo Samuel Chukwueze and Noah Okafor are settling in well at their new club AC Milan ahead of the new season.

Serie A giants AC Milan continued their preparations for the new season with another impressive outing in pre-season.

Nigerian forwards Samuel Chukwueze and Noah Okafor played a crucial role as Milan and Novara played a six-goal thriller.

The Rossoneri 4-2 to return to winning ways ahead of the new season.

Noah Okafor joined Milan from RB Salzburg.

Chukwueze, 24, opened the scoring as early as the ninth minute to give Milan the lead before Noah doubled the advantage seven minutes later to put the Serie A side in a comfortable position.

Navara pulled one back through Niccolo Corti to half the deficit at the break.
