Samu Chukwueze on fire – Reborn Super Eagles winger praised after another MOTM display under Amorim

Ruben Amorim has spent his first few weeks in Italy building a high-intensity tactical machine, and it appears he has already unlocked AC Milan’s most frustrating enigma.

After terrorising his manager's former club, Manchester United, during a blazing pre-season tour, Samuel Chukwueze brought that exact same predatory energy into the Serie A opener.

The 27-year-old Nigerian winger put on a breathtaking display to drive AC Milan to a gritty 2-1 away victory over Torino, leaving the opposition completely broken and fans wondering if they are watching a completely different human being.

Super Eagles forward, Chukwueze, who operated as wing-back, did not just play well; he completely ran the show in the final third.

Operating with a relentless work rate that has become the hallmark of Amorim's system, the Super Eagles star led the pitch in almost every single creative metric.

By the final whistle, Chukwueze had racked up a staggering four chances created, three key passes, a crucial assist, and a joint-match-high nine touches inside the opposition penalty box.

He paired his offensive fury with elite defensive tracking, registering six ball recoveries, a tackle, and winning three grueling ground duels.

The masterclass was instantly recognised by the league, with Serie A’s official handle crowning him the undisputed king of the match: "Chukwueze is the Panini Player of the Match for Torino vs Milan."

The sheer transformation in Chukwueze's output has sent shocks through the Rossoneri fanbase.

For a player who spent last season on loan in the Premier League at Fulham after struggling for consistency, this sudden explosion has left supporters completely stunned.

“What happened to this guy? He's suddenly become a top baller,” one fan wrote in awe on social media.

Another supporter noted his relentless physical sacrifice under Amorim’s demanding system: “Well deserved, he ran his socks off the entire match. He’s ran up and down the wing, see how he’s sweating!”

For others, the Nigerian international feels entirely detached from the player they saw last year. "He is like a new signing," an enthusiastic fan posted, echoing the famous words of former club chief Adriano Galliani. Another simply summarised the winger’s new reality in one word: “Reborn.”

With three points secured and the fanbase fully converted into his personal praise worship choir, Chukwueze’s redemption arc is only just beginning.

Up next, Amorim’s Milan will play host to newly promoted Venezia. The fixture sets up a spicy, all Nigerian showdown at the San Siro, as a flying Chukwueze prepares to welcome his international teammate Akor Adams, who is desperate to bounce back from a tough opening-day defeat.

If Torino was the warning shot, Venezia could be the ultimate execution.
