Adrien Rabiot was the big hero for AC Milan in their 3-1 win against Como, and afterwards, he shared his thoughts with the media. Many have said that Rabiot could be considered as one of the best summer signings in Serie A, given just how much experience he has and the low price Milan paid (under €10m).

According to the controversial figure, Cesc Fabregas' impressive Como outfit could be Silva's next club. Like other top players who are no longer very young, he could come to our league, Di Canio said after suggesting Silva's agency Gestifute, headed by super agent Jorge Mendes, have reportedly been exploring the possibility of moving their client to Italy.

Rafael Leao scored for a second straight game in Serie A and came to AC Milan's rescue late on against Genoa. As Milan entered five minutes of added time it looked like it wasn't going to be their night, yet it was a case of 30th time lucky in terms of shots on goal. Moments after Christian Pulisic had an attempt blocked behind, a 12th corner finally yielded a goal.
