Premier League side, Fulham, have officially announced the acquisition of Nigerian international winger, Samuel Chukwueze, from Italian Serie A club AC Milan during the final hours of the summer 2025 transfer window. The deal, structured as a loan with an option to buy, is reportedly valued at €26 million should Fulham choose to make the move permanent.
Chukwueze, 25, initially moved to AC Milan from Villarreal last summer but struggled to establish himself as a regular starter in the Serie A side, often finding opportunities limited due to tactical rotations and competition for places in the squad. The winger’s departure from Milan comes as both clubs agreed that a fresh start in a new league would benefit the player’s development and playing time.
Under the management of Marco Silva, Fulham aim to integrate Chukwueze immediately into their attacking setup. His pace, dribbling ability, and versatility on either flank are expected to bolster Fulham’s offensive options as they look to strengthen their Premier League campaign following a mixed start to the season. Chukwueze has expressed excitement about the opportunity, emphasizing his readiness to contribute and adapt quickly to English football, which is renowned for its physicality and fast pace.
The Nigerian international now joins a growing contingent of compatriots at the London club, including Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey, further enhancing Fulham’s representation of Nigerian talent in the Premier League. The club and fans alike are hopeful that Chukwueze’s addition will provide a significant boost to the team’s creativity and goal-scoring capabilities as they aim to secure a strong league finish and avoid relegation battles.
Fulham have also confirmed that Chukwueze will be officially unveiled in the coming days, with the player expected to undergo medical assessments, training sessions, and media engagements before making his debut in the Premier League. The move represents a major opportunity for Chukwueze to reignite his career in one of the world’s most competitive leagues while providing Fulham with a dynamic attacking option to challenge the top-flight defenses.
