M'Baye Niang renews contract with AC Milan until 2019

M'Baye Niang believes he holds a future at the San Siro.

On Tuesday, the 20-year-old forward renewed his contract with AC Milan until 2019 in a deal that is somewhat surprising given how the club treated him last season.

Niang was loaned to Genoa in January until the end of the season and went on to notch five goals and two assists for Gian Piero Gasperini's side through 14 Serie A appearances. The move came after he appeared in only one league fixture for Milan in 2014-15 and found himself on the fringes of the Rossoneri's squad rotation.
