MN: Milan encounter problems in attack but the explosive Hauge is ready to step up | OneFootball

One man’s misfortune (or rather the misfortune of several men) can result in an opportunity for another, and Jens Petter Hauge has been waiting for his moment.

As MilanNews reports, a problem that Milan have suffered in recent years is the absence of valid alternatives, i.e. a lack of depth.

However, Stefano Pioli has a number of players available in the attack to deal with the absences of Ibrahimovic, Leao and Saelemaekers – and one of those is Hauge.

The Norwegian is among the players purchased last summer by the Rossoneri to made a big impact in the time he has had. Bought for €4m from Bodo/Glimt, Hauge has scored twice in 61 minutes of action across Serie A and the Europa League – one goal every thirty minutes.

After not having had a start yet for Milan, Hauge is now seemingly set for the his first start and it could come against Lille on Thursday. The 21-year-old has shown great qualities so far, and if he can burn past Kostas Manolas for his first league goal then fans are right to be excited.
