Chukwueze: Super Eagles winger makes Serie A debut as captain America inspires AC Milan

Nigeria international Samuel Chukwueze is off the mark in the Serie A after making his official debut for new club AC Milan. 

Chukwueze was in action as Christian Pulisic inspired the former champions to a winning start against Bologna on Monday night.

It was the Pulisic and Giroud show at the Stadio Renato as Milan kicked off their 2023/2024 campaign with a routine win ar Bologna. 

Giroud opened the scoring in the 11th minute before turning provider for Pulisic, who netted a stunning second in the 21st minute to give Milan a comfortable lead.

The goal by the former Chelsea man turned out to be the winner as he was subbed off for Nigerian winger Chukwueze, who made his debut. 

Samu replaced the match-winner in the 74th minute, just moments after his new friend and compatriot at the club, Noah Okafor, also replaced Giroud for his debut. 

Both Chukwueze and Okafor are new signings for Milan who are looking to reclaim the Serie A title from defending champions, SSC Napoli. 

Nigeria’s Chukwueze was on the pitch for only 12 minutes which was not enough to see him make an impact on his Serie A bow.
