New Milan signing Sergiño Dest reveals he spoke to Franck Kessié before joining the Serie A champions. Watch his first interview as a new Rossoneri player.

The 21-year-old has joined Milan on loan with an option to buy from Barcelona. The Serie A giants will cover his salary throughout the campaign.

Dest briefly appeared in an Instagram video where he sent his first message to Milan fans in Italian before giving his first interview at the club.

“Everything happened really quickly, I had to make a decision in one day. Change my life: join another club, another country, another culture. I love this club, one I wanted to play for when I was young,” he told Milan TV.

The Rossoneri completed the deal in less than 24 hours after learning that Alessandro Florenzi would remain out of action for several weeks due to a muscle injury.

“I think this is a nice step for me and a good chance to play again. I am honoured to play with this club,” Dest continued.

“I’ve never really played in Italy; it’s going to be tough with good opponents, but we have the badge in the middle and we want to keep it.

“I played as a winger in the US, then as a wing-back at Ajax, it was a good decision to use me as a full-back because my qualities came out even more. I could go forward, defend, I have stamina. It’s the best position for me. Right and left-back.

“I spoke a little bit to Franck Kessié, he played here and had only positive things to say and it was good for me.”
