AC Milan’s Christopher Nkunku scores his first goal for the club in a 3-0 Coppa Italia win over Lecce.

Christopher Nkunku has officially opened his scoring account for AC Milan, netting his first goal in a convincing 3-0 Coppa Italia victory over Lecce. 

The French forward’s contribution came after Lecce’s Jamil Siebert was given an early red card, making it easier for Milan to dominate the match. Nkunku’s teammates, Santiago Gimenez and Christian Pulisic, also scored to seal the win.

Nkunku’s performance was a delight not just for himself but for the fans who got to see his trademark celebration. He expressed his delight in scoring his first goal for Milan, stating, “It was a good match today from everyone, a great performance, scoring three goals and conceding none. We’re happy to have advanced.”

The 23-year-old forward is determined to make a significant impact for his new club. “I feel good and I’m determined to play even more,” Nkunku said. “I’m working to feel even better.”

Nkunku also praised the welcoming atmosphere at Milan, saying, “I feel comfortable here. I received a great welcome, and everyone makes me feel good, from the staff to my teammates to the fans. I’m happy to play for Milan.”

The former RB Leipzig forward signed for Milan in a surprising move this summer, joining from Premier League club Chelsea for a reported fee of up to €43 million.

With his impressive performance against Lecce, Nkunku has set a promising tone for his time at Milan. As he continues to work hard and adapt to his new surroundings, fans can expect to see more of his skills and creativity on the pitch and hopefully, they can see him and the team lift a trophy this season.
