AC Milan have completed the signing of Dutch midfielder Marco Van Ginkel on a season long loan deal after a successful medical. The 21 year old will join Spaniard Fernando Torres at Ac Milan. The Rossoneri started the brand new Serie A season in style by beating Lazio by 3-1 yesterday.
Van Ginkel expressed his delight to join the Italian side and also admitted that he spoke to his compatriot Nigel De Jong before joining the European giants from Chelsea.
Van Ginkel was delighted with the move and reportedly said, “I am very happy. Milan is a great club where many Dutch players have played and some big names. I know Nigel De Jong from my experiences with the National team, I spoke to him about Milan and he said excellent things about the club.”
Verdict: Its a good decision for the player personally as he would have to warm the side at Chelsea given the Stamford Bridge side’s plethora of talent in the middle of the park. The highly rated Dutch prodigy was also targeted by Portuguese giants Benfica but the San Siro side have come on top to secure the player’s services.
