Super Eagles winger, Samuel Chukwueze attended his first AC Milan Christmas party on Tuesday night showing his swag.

The Nigerian didn’t disappoint as he displayed a cool dress sense wearing a black turtleneck shirt with a jack to compliment.

The Italian club published some red carpet pictures including that of Chukwueze, his teammates and players from women’s teams.

It was a day for celebrations, as the Milan squad opened their presents as part of the Secret Santa organised by the team manager, with gifts ranging from exclusive perfumes to a trip to Disneyland.

In the evening the Christmas party took place under the ‘Planting New Memories’ banner that Milan launched to celebrate the festive period with an eye on the environment.

Twenty-four hours later the 2023 AFCON bound Nigerian winger was put to his pace as Milan held a training session ahead their away game to Salernitana that is set to take place on Friday evening.

The first part of the training was focused on muscle activation and ball-possession exercises, while the second half saw an eleven versus eleven training game.

Meanwhile, the players were greeted to a guest as Zlatan Ibrahimovic showed up at Milanello for his first official visit since he was appointed Senior Advisor of RedBird and AC Milan.

Ibra’s first visit was expected to take place last week, but the Swede was struck by the flu which prevented him from showing up at Milanello as scheduled, so as not to run the risk of spreading it to anybody else.

In his new role, the former striker will play an active role in the club’s sporting and commercial operations and will hopefully help strengthen its winning culture, as he did when he made his first comeback in December 2019.
