Chukwueze ‘so happy’ to join Fulham: “The Premier League is a dream”

Samuel Chukwueze has revealed his delight after he swapped AC Milan for Fulham in a deadline day loan move.

Chukwueze’s future was speculated about all summer, with a number of different clubs linked. That came after a difficult first two years at Milan following his move from Villarreal in the summer 2023 window, having struggled for playing time due to Christian Pulisic’s impressive form.

Just as it looked like he would be remaining, Fulham stepped forward. On Sunday night, the Nigerian travelled to London to complete a medical, without a deal being agreed. However, late on deadline day the London club announced they had got him on loan with an option to buy.

Already at home

Chukwueze spoke to Fulham’s official channel to reveal his emotions after swapping San Siro for Craven Cottage, and his comments were published on MilanPress.

“I’m so happy to be here. I have some friends here, and this is a fantastic club. I already feel at home, and I can’t wait to get started. Playing in the Premier League is a dream for every player,” he said.

“Have I spoken to Coach Marco Silva? Yes, he called me and convinced me to come here with his words. He’s an excellent coach with a style that suits me.”
