Odogu gives first comments after joining Milan: “I’m very grateful to be here” – video

David Odogu has said his first words as an AC Milan player, revealing his delight after sealing a deadline day move.

Going into the final day of the summer mercato, Odogu’s name had not been mentioned once as a target. However, when the Joe Gomez deal with Liverpool looked to have hit the brakes, the Rossoneri moved quickly to bring the German defender in from Wolfsburg.

While waiting for his full first interview with Milan TV, a snippet was posted on the official Instagram account in which the 19-year-old shares his initial emotions.

“Yesterday everything happened so quickly, it was incredible. I still can’t quite grasp what’s happened in the last 24 hours. So much has happened, it’s an incredible feeling. I’m very grateful to be here and I’m happy to be part of this club,” he said.
