“I am really happy. I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time,” the Nigerian winger told DAZN as quoted by Milannews.

“These first few months were not easy, but I’ve continued to work hard. Winning was important, and I wanted to keep scoring to help the team.

“I must continue working hard because they signed me to score goals. I trust the coach and his plans for me. I just need to remain focused and continue working hard.”

When asked to sum up his first few months in Milan, Chukwueze responded.

“They were not easy as who plays in my position [Pulisic] is doing well and scoring many goals,” he replied smiling.

“The coach can’t put him on the bench, but I continue to work. Today’s goal means a lot to my confidence. I must continue to work and be focused on the future.”
