Nigerian teenager, Victor Eletu scored on his maiden senior appearance as AC Milan beat Lumezzane 3-2 in a friendly on Thursday.

The 17-year-old signed his first-ever professional contract with the Serie A champions on Wednesday.

Eletu was also rewarded with a three-year endorsement contract with famous German sport wear company, Adidas.

Stefano Pioli’s side came from behind twice to beat the Serie D side.

Eletu set up Alesi Lazetic for AC Milan’s second goal.

The midfielder then netted the winning goal late in the game.

He took control inside the box and finished with power after some disorganisation in the opposition defence.

The Nigerian youngster is highly rated in Europe and is eligible to be invited by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to join the Golden Eaglets team to the 2023 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Algeria.
