The Rojiblancos will be heading to the San Siro on Wednesday to take on the Rossoneri in the first leg Champions League round of 16 match between the two sides and the 25-year-old has revealed that he’s excited to play in Italy.

“AC Milan is a great team with great tradition and they know how to play certain games like this one.

“In order to secure a positive result we must play the whole match with the right mindset. I’ve never played at the San Siro, so I’m excited.
