Former Milan boss Fabio Capello has highlighted why Samuel Chukwueze is struggling to perform in Serie A.

During a summer transfer window, Milan secured ten new signings, including Chukwueze from Villarreal, but the winger has not lived up to expectations.

In a recent column for Gazzetta dello Sport Fabio Capello, sheds light on the struggles faced by players like Chukwueze, emphasizing the need for the Rossoneri to address and rectify these issues.

Capello stresses, the true quality of these acquisitions is still under scrutiny.

“The heavy turnover in the summer was a risk for Milan,” the former Coach said.

“The owners invested €132m in ten players, but not all of them have proved to be up to the task, at least not for now. I think of Chukwueze who in Spain, with the Villarreal shirt, did wonderful things.

“At Milan, however, he’s still a shy player. A question of settling in, of course, but also of pressure because the Rossoneri shirt weighs more than the others, withstanding the impact of a stadium like San Siro requires a considerable amount of personality. Like the Nigerian, other newcomers are also struggling.

“It’s a sign that the summer Mercato was important, but that perhaps some evaluation errors were made in the planning phase. No matter how innovative and fascinating, the ‘Moneyball’ system is evidently not immune to mistakes,” he wrote.

Samuel Chukwueze has single goal involvement since his arrival from Spain.​ The 24-year-old spent four weeks on the sideline due to injury, but could get the chance from start against Fiorentina amid the absences of Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao.
