Recently, two bright new stars from the Belgian Jupiler professional league have quietly attracted the attention of Serie A giants AC Milan. After Charles de Ketelaere's twists and turns, the Rossoneri did not let this stop and continued to dig deeper into the gems of Belgium's footballing region.
First up is the 23-year-old Togolese striker Kevin Ascend, whose value has soared to around €15 million thanks to his impressive performances of 26 goals in 32 games for Club Brugge. Although AC Milan's current attacking line is well-staffed, such an efficient and promising young goalscorer undoubtedly adds more possibilities for the team's future.
Another one caught Milan's eye was 24-year-old Danish winger Andreas Skov Olsen. After making a strong mark on Bologna, he made a move to Brugge and made it to the limelight, with 23 goals and eight assists in 46 appearances, which have caught the eye of many top clubs, including Napoli and AC Milan. Club Brugge has put a price tag of more than 20 million euros on it, which is enough to see the recognition of his value and market value.
However, bringing in a new attacking right winger is not a priority for AC Milan this summer, as the position is relatively secure under the likes of Christian Pulisic and Chukwueze. However, Olsen's own desire to challenge for the higher stage and the steady stream of injuries could make a difference in this transfer and give the Rossoneri an unexpected opportunity.
Whether it's Kevin Ascend or Andreas Skov Olsen, their career highlights in Belgium bode well for them to be the next stars to land at the San Siro. Although Milan's transfer strategy is still unclear at the moment, these two rising stars will undoubtedly set off a fierce battle in the transfer market for the rest of the year. It will be interesting to see if the doors of Milanello will open for them in the summer!
