16 Aug
Summary
- Chukwueze returns to AC Milan after a loan spell at Fulham.
- He is being utilized in a new right wing-back position.
- His adaptation to the role is key to the team's attacking strategy.
Samuel Chukwueze has made a surprising return to AC Milan's plans, defying expectations of another summer transfer. After a loan spell with Fulham, where he registered three goals and four assists in 23 Premier League appearances, his future seemed uncertain.
Instead, manager Amorim has integrated Chukwueze into the team's pre-season activities, specifically assigning him to the right wing-back position in a 3-4-2-1 formation. This role represents a significant departure from his usual attacking duties, demanding considerable defensive contribution.
The Nigerian attacker has, however, shown a remarkable ability to adapt to this novel position. He is effectively fulfilling Amorim's tactical requirements, providing crucial width that the manager relies upon for building offensive plays.
