Fulham will reportedly look to sign 26-year-old Nigerian international Samuel Chukwueze from Serie A club AC Milan in the final days of the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Corriere dello Sport, as relayed by Sport Witness, Samuel Chukwueze is the subject of interest from Fulham. The Cottagers are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a wide attacker in the final days of the transfer window. So, the 26-year-old AC Milan winger has emerged as a target for the West London outfit.
The Cottagers have reignited their interest in the AC Milan winger after unsuccessfully pursuing his signature in the winter transfer window. However, the Serie A giants are “undecided” on whether they want to cash in on the African attacker in the coming week.
Samuel Chukwueze and his AC Milan misery
Samuel Chukwueze has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining AC Milan from Villarreal in July 2023. The 26-year-old rose in prominence during his spell in La Liga, but he has not stamped his authority at the Serie A club. The player has been in and out of the starting lineup at AC Milan in the last two years, with his game time dwindling in the 2024/25 campaign.
The Nigerian international has managed only eight goals and six assists in 70 appearances thus far for AC Milan. However, Chukwueze’s stock in the market remains high, with several well-known clubs keen on signing him. Fulham will look to secure his services before the summer transfer window shuts down next week.
London calling?
Fulham’s interest in Samuel Chukwueze is understandable. The Cottagers were keen on signing the former Villarreal winger earlier this year before the deal failed to materialise. However, the eagerness to sign him has not waned, as Marco Silva wants more firepower in the final third.
Fulham lost Willian and Reiss Nelson when the summer transfer window opened, and several candidates, including Federico Chiesa, have emerged on the West London club’s radar. However, Chukwueze is also a viable target, with Fulham reviving the move for the 26-year-old winger.
While Fulham will chase AC Milan winger’s signature in the final week of the summer transfer window, the Serie A giants are undecided on their stance on his future. So, it will be interesting to see if the Nigerian international moves to Craven Cottage in the final days of the summer transfer window.
