AC Milan boss, Stefano Pioli has urged Super Eagle winger, Samuel Chukwueze to step up his game by ensuring he finds the back of the net more often.
He threw the challenge at the Nigerian in a recent statement published on the club’s official website.
Chukwueze moved to the San Siro from Spanish club, Villarreal last summer.
He has, however, struggled to make an impact in front of goal since joining the Serie A outfit.

The Nigeria international has failed to register a goal in 15 league appearances for AC Milan.
Although he has scored twice and provided one assist in the UEFA Champions League (UCL).
Speaking on the 24-year-old, Pioli compared him to USA winger, Christian Pulisic, who also joined the club last summer but has been more prolific
He said: “Pulisic and Chukwueze have the same characteristics.”
The Italian manager, however, added: “Pulisic scores goals, assists and works.
“Chukwueze has to score goals, he has to get assists and has to work.”
