AC Milan Looks at Talents to Strengthen Midfield Positions

 

AC Milan has been active in the transfer market this January. One opportunity might land from Spain for this team. Currently, the team is looking to make inclusions in the attacking positions. Two players who are returning to this position are Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Divock Origi. There is, however, no guarantee that either of these two players can make significant contributions. That is because the Belgian player has injury problems while the Swede player might be past his prime playing years.

 

Milan might not be able to spend big on players this season. However, they are looking to include names such as that Arnaut Danjuma. He has amassed several appearances in Premier League games including two goals this very season. His contract with Villareal is set to expire. He is also interested in Everton. Rossoneri is probably going to attempt to sign him. This will be probably by end of the transfer window when the Dutchman has not been signed on by any other club.  Read more… »
