AC Milan teenager Alphadjo Cisse believes he has “only shown 70% of my capabilities so far” this season.
Cisse joined Milan in February, but spent the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign on loan at Catanzaro before breaking into the Rossoneri’s first team this summer.
The 19-year-old impressed in pre-season under Ruben Amorim, scoring in their victory over Manchester United before also netting in Milan’s Serie A opener over Torino.
Cisse became the youngest Italian player (19 years, 305 days) to score for Milan in Serie A since Patrick Cutrone (19 years, 236 days) did so against Cagliari on August 27, 2017.
And after also scoring in a 1-1 draw with Juventus, Cisse (19 years and 319 days old) became the youngest player to score in his first two away appearances for Milan in Serie A in the three-points-per-win era (since 1994-95).
He took that form into the international break, scoring the only goal in Italy Under-21s’ European qualifier victory over Armenia Under-21s.
“This year has brought me a lot of joy,” Cisse said in an interview with Rai Sport.

“I’ve only shown 70% of my capabilities so far, I know I can do much better.
“The goal [against Armenia] brings me a lot of happiness, and from now on I hope to be able to show lots of other characteristics.”
Milan face Sassuolo in their first match after the international break, before taking on Salzburg in the Europa League.
