Jens Petter Hauge thrilled with AC Milan move: I'll learn from Zlatan

Jens Petter Hauge is thrilled with his move to AC Milan.

The Rossonero snapped up the young striker from Bodo/Glimt this week.

Hauge said, "Italian football is fantastic, it suits my characteristics well. The fans are hot and history says that great clubs play in Serie A. It's fantastic.

"I know what it means to be part of the youth academy and to be young. I will do my best to help the younger players who come from the youth teams and at the same time I will learn from my teammates with more experience than me here at Milan."

On now calling Zlatan Ibrahimovic a teammate, Hauge continued: "It is an incredible opportunity. I can learn from one of the best in the world. Zlatan has had a fantastic career and having the chance to learn from him and speak Norwegian or Swedish will be great. I cannot wait."

On choosing No15, he added: “I've always liked it, I wore it when I played at Bodo. It's a number that I really like, it's a great number."
