Alphadjo Cissé is THE sensation of AC Milan’s early season, racking up five goals in just nine games after arriving quietly this summer from Serie B side US Catanzaro. This kid is making an insane impact right out of the gate, proving he’s way more than just a promising talent.

The Rossoneri’s Gamble That Is Absolutely Paying Off

Seriously, Cissé’s arrival looked like a huge gamble for AC Milan, picking him up from a Serie B club. But after just nine games, he’s already matched almost his entire production from last season, hitting five goals. The Rossoneri front office must be absolutely patting themselves on the back for dropping eight million euros last winter to secure this guy. It’s an investment that’s looking like an absolute steal right now, and the league is definitely taking notice of what this young striker is doing.

Making History Before He Can Even Buy a Beer

Cissé just celebrated his 20th birthday a few days ago, which makes his accomplishments even more mind-blowing. He didn’t just score some goals, he carved out a special place in Italian football history by becoming the youngest Italian player ever to net a hat-trick in European competition, doing it against Salzburg in the Europa League. This dude’s got skills on the ball, can make the difference with his dribbling, and his precision and composure in front of goal are just ridiculous, as his first AC Milan strike showed.

At just 20 years old, Alphadjo Cissé already looks like the undisputed future of Italian football. Whispers around the league suggest that Roberto Mancini, the national team coach, could be calling him up as soon as the next international break in November. Imagine, this kid might even get to take on Zinédine Zidane’s France before the year is out. Keep your eyes on this guy, because he’s just getting started.
