AC Milan signing Nkunku: I'm very excited and overjoyed

Chelsea sold the France attacker to Milan on Saturday.

Nkunku told Milan TV: "I was overjoyed (to sign). I'm very excited to be here. I was convinced by the project from the first moment, I'm very happy to be here.

"My playing style is very technical. I like to play with my teammates and act as a link. I play in an attacking position and try to provide assists or goals for the team. I always think in terms of the team. I like to fight for it, give everything, so we can all play our best together.

"I like playing near the striker or even as a striker. I like to play with the freedom to attack. Moving in space, interacting with my attacking teammates, it's what I do best.

"I'm proud. I feel very proud. I've gained valuable experience in England and Germany. I'm ready to discover a new country, a new league, and I can't wait to start this season."

On choosing the No18, Nkunku added: "I've always liked this number; I've worn it in the past. Then it became even more special for personal reasons, events that strengthened this bond.

"We know the club's ambitions. We have to win, which is why great players come here. I've already played against Luka (Modric), but not with Rafa (Leao). I'm very happy to play alongside them. I hope to get along well with them on the pitch for the good of the team."
