Confidence in Malick Thiaw is growing after his summer arrival from Schalke 04 and should get more and more trust, a report claims.
Not much was known about Thiaw when he joined in the summer transfer window from the Bundesliga side but he had been linked with a move to the Rossoneri in the January prior, thus showing he is a defender that the scouting department had been eyeing for a while.
Calciomercato.com report that Thiaw is ‘growing more and more’ under the guidance of Stefano Pioli having not been used much in the first part of the season, though he does have four Serie A appearances under his belt including two starts.
The German U21 international joined from Schalke 04 for a fee of just €6m, and his playing time will increase in the second part of the season as Milan hope they have secured another Kalulu-esque bargain who can be part of the defence for the future.
