Super Eagles winger, Samuel Chukwueze could well adapt to life in the Italian Serie A after he earned a 6/10 rating in his debut game for Milan away to Bologna at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.
The Nigerian who joined from Spanish LaLiga side, Villarreal in the summer transfer window, was introduced in the second half as the former Scudetto champions began their campaign with a 2-0 win to keep pace with Napoli, Inter and Juventus.
Chukwueze and several players earned praises following their impressive performance in the tricky tie against Bologna.
Authoritative Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport published how it rated Milan players in its Tuesday edition, starting with the team’s performance and Stefano Pioli’s management, both of which earned a 7 out of 10.
The best performer was Christian Pulisic who had a hand in the first goal and scored the second, getting a 7.5.
Despite starting the game from the bench, Chukwueze got a 6 out of 10 rating as he showed flashes of his skill as he ran the wings but later restricted his runs as Milan defended its two-goal lead.
