Italian side identifies Chelsea star as replacement for their departed forward

AC Milan recently signed Fikayo Tomori on a permanent deal from Chelsea after impressing during his short loan spell, but he might be joined by another blues player.

The Italian club are in the transfer window for a forward after Hakan Calhanoglu has left them the club to sign for Inter Milan.

Calhanoglu has left a void that needs to be filled in AC Milan, and they are not relenting in their effort to add that new player as soon as possible.

Hakim Ziyech has now been identified as the player that will fill Calhanoglu’s void in AC Milan.

The Seria A giant are willing to negotiate with Chelsea over a deal that will bring Ziyech to Italy this summer transfer window.

According to Tuttosport, as cited by MilanNews, Milan are willing to take advantage of Ziyech’s inability to secure the first team in Chelsea to lure him to Italy.

Ziyech made 23 league appearances but only found the back of the net twice, assisting just three goals for Chelsea last season.

Chelsea signed Ziyech from Ajax last season, winning the Champions League title in his debut season with the blues.
