Muntari says AC Milan are a 'step up' in his career

Inter-owned midfielder Sulley Muntari has spoken of his delight at securing a loan switch to AC Milan.

The 27-year-old joined the Rossoneri on deadline day of the January transfer window, but he spoke as a player of the club for the first time only on Thursday, after representing the Ghana national team in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Muntari is hoping to prove his worth at Milan after making just four competitive appearances at Inter during the first half of the campaign.

"I am very excited to have gone from Inter to Milan," he told Sky Sport Italia. "It is incredible; this is a step up in my career.

"This team is unique, one of the best in the world. I arrive here with a lot of excitement to do things well and win.

"I will do my work and then the coach will decide whether to use me, but I am available.

"[If I am in the strongest team in Italy?] No, I am in the strongest team in the world."
