Shakhtar Donetsk Coach Mircea Lucescu says Milan have ‘secured a great buy’ in Luiz Adriano.
The Brazilian striker moved from the Ukrainian side to the Rossoneri last week, in an €8m deal, and the former Inter Coach discussed his qualities.
“Serie A can help Luiz Adriano establish himself with his national team,” Lucescu told Shakhtar’s official website.
“He’s a powerful player, who rarely picks up injuries. Although he’s not very tall, on aerial balls he moves as though he’s two metres tall!

“He fights in the box, and always looks to score, he’s a true finisher. Milan have secured a great buy, I already regret his departure.
“Of course, I understand that the Ukrainian League isn’t at the level of other leagues, and it’s normal that a player would aspire to play in one of the more competitive leagues.
