Romano: ‘Here we go’ – Milan agree deal with Wolfsburg for David Odogu

AC Milan will get a centre-back signing over the line on deadline day, with David Odogu set to arrive from Wolfsburg.

Going into transfer deadline day it seemed as though Joe Gomez would be joining from Liverpool to reinforce the defence. However, it is always a race against time on the final day, and the green light didn’t arrive as the Reds were/are trying to get Marc Guehi before allowing him to leave.

Thus, reports emerged stating that Milan were moving for an alternative target in Odogu. Now, things have moved quickly and it appears as though he will be the defender who actually arrives.

Odogu to Milan: Here we go!

Now, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the deal on social media: “AC Milan agree deal to sign David Odogu as CB from Wolfsburg. Agreement in place for the defender born in 2006 as club to club documents ready, player fly for medical. The deal for Joe Gomez, currently 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝.”

The 19-year-old certainly falls into the ‘inexperienced’ category having made just three Bundesliga appearances, all of which came last season. Nonetheless, Milan have often shown a willingness to invest in talent for the future, and this could be a Malick Thiaw-esque operation.
