GdS: What Milan want from a winger signing and why Okafor can leave

AC Milan are looking to potentially revamp their wide options in attack and it could see Noah Okafor leave the club as early as January.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport report this morning, Milan are thinking about signing a new winger with targets in Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga. The reason? Samu Chukwueze and Okafor have disappointed so far this season due to injuries, form and just not being what Paulo Fonseca wants.

Christian Pulisic had the starting spot on the right last season but Fonseca moved him to the centre of the three-man attack behind the striker, so he can move in two directions and give a hand in the build-up phase.

If a new winger arrives, the idea is to sign a player who knows how to play in tight spaces, read situations quickly but also give a hand in defence, to ensure there is balance on the right side.

There is one condition: the sale of a player must happen first, to free up a spot in the squad and also bring in some money. Chukwueze and Okafor are candidates, perhaps more the Swiss because he already has admirers in the German Bundesliga and the English Premier League.
