These are exciting numbers for a 21-year-old. He&#8217;ll likely find his way into the starting line-up at some point due to his versatility, as he can play both as a striker and as an attacking midfielder. Milan&#8217;s striking core at the moment includes Olivier Giroud and Divock Origi. The attacking midfielder is Brahim Diaz, although he didn&#8217;t perform well last season. It would come as no surprise to eventually see De Ketelaere replace Diaz, especially since Diaz is at Milan on loan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/07\/23\/ac-milan-are-after-young-midfielder\/\" target=\"_self\">AC Milan Are Chasing a Young Premier League Midfielder\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AC Milan have finally reached an agreement with Club Brugge for Belgian starlet Charles De Ketelaere, according to Fabrizio Romano.
