By Abiodun Adewale

Nigerian forward Samuel Chukwueze could be on course to fight for a place in the AC Milan team under new coach Ruben Amorim, as the former Manchester United boss assumed duties, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

Despite speculation linking him with a permanent move away from the club, Chukwueze has expressed a desire to remain at Milan and fight for his place under Amorim.

Chukwueze was the subject of transfer talks between Milan and Trabzonspor, but the Nigeria international was not interested in the move, while the Rossoneri also rejected a €15m bid from the Turkish club.

The winger has returned to Milan after a loan spell at Fulham, with the Premier League side opting against activating the €26m purchase option included in the agreement.
