Costacurta worried about Milan’s €32m man Gimenez: “He seems absent” | OneFootball

Alessandro Costacurta has expressed his concern about AC Milan’s winter signing Santiago Gimenez, who he does not believe gets involved in the game enough.

After a red hot start with his new club, Gimenez seems to be struggling to find the net a bit more. His last goal came against Feyenoord during the second leg of the Champions League play-off tie, back on February 18.

In certain situations he has been unlucky, such as hitting the post and having a goal called off against Lecce for a marginal offside, yet there must also be some concern about the €32m investment given he was supposed to be the answer to the scoring woes.

Speaking in the Sky studios, former Milan defender Costacurta expressed his opinion on Gimenez as his drought in front of goal reached one month. MilanPress relayed his comments.

“He doesn’t seem like a driving force to me, perhaps when he arrived he was enthusiastic at the beginning, there was that adrenaline in having changed teams but then he dropped along with Milan, him like the others. The Mexican is often out of the Rossoneri’s game, he seems absent in every action,” he said.

Another thing of note in the win over Como on Saturday was that Tammy Abraham came off the bench and contributed more, getting a lovely assist for Tijjani Reijnders’ winning goal.
