Samuel Chukwueze wins first Milan individual award

Nigeria International Samuel Chukwueze has won his first individual award since joining AC Milan.

The winger assisted Christian Pulisic’s 10th Serie A goal of the season against Lecce, maintaining his impressive recent form.

Chukwueze stood out by creating the most chances in the game, with five key passes surpassing all teammates and opponents as AC Milan saw off their opponents in Saturday’s 3-0 victory at San Siro.

His impressive performance saw him rewarded with the Man of the Match award after the game.

This was his first-ever individual recognition since joining Milan last summer.

The Super Eagles forward joined Milan from Villarreal at €20m. The 22-year-old may be in action on Thursday as Milan will be in a tasty Europa League last-eight first-leg meeting against Roma.
