Huge, huge day for Oguchi Onyewu and the development of US Soccer as a whole after AC Milan officially confirms the signature of the 27 year old following a free transfer on a three year Serie A deal.

Congrats Gooch…. The last American International to play in Serie A was Alexi Lalas with Padova and he’s loving this move.

Via AC Milan

AC Milan announces to have signed defender OGUCHI ONYEWU, from Standard Liege, at the end of his contract. The player, who played the American national team, is also in possession of the Belgian passport and signed a contract which expires on June 30 2012. This operation proves once again the excellent friendship between our club and Standard Liege, and in particular, with vice president Luciano D’Onofrio.
