New boy Gimenez living Milan dream ahead of Feyenoord return

MILAN, Italy — Santiago Gimenez is living his childhood dream of being a striker at AC Milan, following in the footsteps of some of his biggest heroes, as he prepares to take on former team Feyenoord in the Champions League.

Mexico striker Gimenez returns to the De Kuip stadium in Rotterdam on Wednesday night, barely a week after moving to Italian giant Milan, with his sights set on dumping Feyenoord out of the Champions League playoffs.

The 23-year-old signed for Milan as a replacement for Alvaro Morata on deadline day of the winter transfer window, and has already made an impression on supporters.
