AC Milan midfielder Yunus Musah has welcomed comparisons with Franck Kessie.

Musah arrived in the summer a year after Kessie had left Milan for Barcelona.

He told Sportmediaset: "For me it's nice to be called the 'new Kessie' also because he was a very good player for Milan, so it's a positive thing.

"But I try to play my game and then help Milan, as he has done in the past."

Musah also discussed Milan's recent disappointing results: "We have a lot of confidence in the group. We know what we are capable of doing and we never give up.

"Sometimes things don't go the way you want, but the important thing is to always believe in it and stay united. That's what we're doing."
