Former Belgium U21 coach Johan Walem says Charles de Ketelare has struggled with the demands of being an AC Milan player this season.

The former Club Brugge has flopped in his first campaign in Italy.

Walem commented to gazzetta.it: "He's a very closed, introverted boy.

"In Bruges he was served, revered and pampered, while in Milan he found himself facing a different environment.

"The Rossoneri, however, must insist on him, even if perhaps he could perform better as a right winger, free from scoring."
