Chukwueze will become Milan’s seventh major signing of the summer after the club completed the transfer of Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Marco Sportiello, Tijani Reijnders Luka Romero, and Noah Okafor.

Milan’s new sporting director has his hands full already as Sandro Tonali’s €70m move to Newcastle has given the club more money to operate within the transfer market.

Chukwueze’s transfer is expected to be completed in the coming hours, taking Milan’s summer spending to over €90m.

Video footage shows the moment the Nigerian arrived in the city as fans tried to take selfies with him. The player was taken away as he headed for medicals at the club’s facility.
