English Premier League side Fulham are leading the race for the signing of Nigeria international winger Samuel Chukwueze who has been deemed surplus to requirements after two seasons at AC Milan, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Chukwueze who was the most expensive signing of the Italian side in the summer transfer window two seasons ago when he joined from Villarreal had under performed badly, forcing the club to put him up for sale.
After a return of 8 goals and four assists in 66 games in all competitions, the 25 year old has fallen out of favor and will be among the players to leave the club in the summer transfer window according to Antonio Vitiello.
He also reckoned that Fulham who currently have two Nigeria international on their books in Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey will likely be his next destination after a failed move in the January transfer window.
“Milan has put Chukwueze up for sale after two years of anonymity,” said Vitiello.
“He is one of the transferable ones on the market after he almost packed his bags in January to join Fulham. The deal fell through due to a question of time, but in the three summer months there will be plenty of time to find a solution.”
