Chaka Traore achieves Serie A milestone as Franck Kessie fires AC Milan to victory against Parma

Ivory Coast youngster Chaka Traore became the first player to perform in the Serie A at the age of 16 after coming off the bench for Parma in their 3-1 loss against AC Milan on Saturday.

Traore, born in the Ivory Coast, replaced Andrea Conti in the 85th minute as the hosts suffered back-to-back league losses at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.

Saturday's Serie A debut was the 16-year-old's second match for Parma after he made a cameo appearance for Roberto D'Aversa's side in their 2-1 Coppa Italia defeat to Lazio on January 21.
