Serie A: AC Milan boss Pioli challenges Chukwueze to step up

AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli has urged Samuel Chukwueze to step up his game.

Chukwueze moved to the San Siro from Spanish club, Villarreal last summer.

The Nigeria international has, however, struggled to make an impact with the former European champions.

The 24-year-old has failed to register a goal in 15 league appearances for AC Milan.

He has however scored twice and provided one assist in the UEFA Champions League.

Pioli compared Chukwueze to USA winger, Christian Pulisic, who also joined the club last summer.

Pulisic and Chukwueze have the same characteristics,” Pioli told the club’s official website.

“Pulisic scores goals, assists and works.

“Chukwueze has to score goals, he has to get assists and has to work.”
