Nigerian attacking midfielder Samuel Chukwueze officially completed today, within less than 24 hours, his loan with an option to buy to English club Fulham, coming from AC Milan.
This transfer, confirmed on Monday, September 15, 2025, marks Chukwueze’s return to the United Kingdom, where he states he is very happy and ready to take on the challenge of the Premier League, considered one of the most demanding competitions in the world.
After a difficult period at Milan, where he scored only four goals in 51 Serie A appearances and struggled to regain his Villarreal form, Chukwueze aims to revive his career in this new setting. The Nigerian international has already been persuaded by personal calls from coach Marco Silva, who promised him a playing style perfectly suited to his qualities. He will wear number 19 in a Fulham team strengthened by other Africans such as Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey.
This transfer of Samuel Chukwueze is closely followed by specialized sports press as it illustrates the dynamic of African players in the 2025 transfer market, a period of questioning for many of them. The Premier League should offer Chukwueze an ideal platform to exploit his speed, technique, and dribbling skills, with a clear goal to be a key player for Fulham this season.
This loan also confirms the Premier League’s enduring attraction for top African talents eager to revive or progress at the highest level. Chukwueze’s career, now at a crossroads, will be closely watched by fans and experts of African and global football, anticipating an immediate sporting renaissance starting from today’s match.
