Making his first start for his club since August, as noted by Fotmob, Chukwueze displayed clinical finishing inside the box, slotting home a well-placed pass from Christian Pulisic.

The goal, which gave Milan the lead against the in-form Bianconeri, was set up by a dynamic run from Noah Okafor. The Austrian forward found Pulisic, who calmly laid off the decisive pass for Chukwueze to finish with composure.

The 25-year-old's first goal of the season could just be the start of a new lease on life for the attacker.

Chukwueze linked with Milan exit

According to a report from media outlet Les Transferts, the Nigerian forward has been linked with several clubs outside of Serie A.

Chukwueze has struggled to replicate the form that prompted AC Milan to invest a fee in the region of €28 million in his transfer from Villarreal.

The report suggests that Premier League sides, Aston Villa and West Ham, along with La Liga outfit, Sevilla, are showing interest in the winger.

It remains to be seen what will become of the Nigerian attacker's future, especially as January transfer window speculation intensifies.
