AC Milan boss, Stefano Pioli has charged underperforming forward, Samuel Chukwueze to seat up amidst unsatisfactory performance from the lad.

The Super Eagles winger has a fair outing at the 2023 AFCON but haven’t lived up to the expectations that trailed his move to the San Siro from Villarreal.

Pioli says Christian Pulisic and Chukwueze are identical with characteristics but believes Pulisic has the upper hand with goals and assists which he intensifies the Nigerian must score and work harder.

“They have the same characteristics. Pulisic scores goals, assists and works. Chukwueze must score goals, assists and work,” Pioli said at the Prematch Presser preceding the Atalanta game.

Chukwueze was in action for Milan in their 3-2 loss to Rennes in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.

The Italian side are third on the Serie A table with 52 points from 25 matches.
