AC Milan have completed the shock free transfer signing of Standard Liege centre back Oguchi Onyewu.
The 27-year-old impressed during the recent Confederations Cup for the United States, but it comes as something of a surprise that the Rossoneri have moved to snap him.
'AC Milan would like to inform that they have signed Oguchi Onyewu on a permanent basis from Standard Liege,' a statement on the club's official website reads.
The last American to play in Serie A was Alexi Lalas, who played for Padova from 1994-96.
Onyewu was born in Washington D.C. after his parents emigrated to the United States from Nigeria and helped Standard Liege to two consecutive Belgian league titles.
The contract is for three years.
