Four English Premier League Clubs Vie for AC Milan’s Winger Samuel Chukwueze in January Transfer Window
Coutinho’s sensational speed and agility have caught the attention of several clubs, including Fulham, Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and West Ham United, all vying for his services in the January transfer window.
According to insider reports, AC Milan, the current employer of the 25-year-old Nigerian winger, may be willing to let him go if they successfully acquire a replacement. Manchester United’s Antony is their target, potentially paving the way for Chukwueze’s exit.
Aston Villa is considered the top contender for Chukwueze, thanks to their manager Unai Emery, who has a proven track record with the player from their time together at Villarreal. During their tenure, they enjoyed immense success, including capturing the Europa League title and reaching the Champions League semifinals.
Chukwueze signed a five-year deal with AC Milan in July 2023, but since then, he’s struggled for consistency, making just 14 out of 33 competitive starts in the current 2023-2024 season. He has managed to contribute three goals and three assists but is yet to establish a regular spot in the starting XI.
Lately, however, he has demonstrated glimpses of his attacking prowess, as seen in his match-winning goal against Udinese, and played a key role in AC Milan’s 3-1 Champions League win over Club Brugge. Despite this, he faltered in their recent 2-0 defeat to Napoli, failing to make an impact despite being on the pitch for the full 90 minutes.
