AC Milan are on the verge of securing a major attacking reinforcement, with Christopher Nkunku set to join the Rossoneri from Chelsea.

His decision comes as Chelsea continue to streamline their squad, raising funds and reducing the wage bill in line with their ongoing rebuild under Todd Boehly’s ownership.
