According to reports in England, Milan have approached Chelsea and asked to sign Armando Broja, whereas Italian sources point towards PSG outcast Hugo Ekitike.

The Rossoneri still need a centre-forward who can act as understudy to Olivier Giroud, as Lorenzo Colombo is widely expected to be loaned out again to a smaller Serie A side.

The Evening Standard and La Gazzetta dello Sport maintain they came back to Chelsea for Broja, having already targeted him when Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara were still in charge of the transfer strategy.

The Albania international turns 22 next month and the report warns Chelsea intend to keep him, even though West Ham United are also interested.

Meanwhile, Calciomercato.com point towards a different Milan target, as PSG have excluded several players from their squad for this season, including Ekitike.

The 21-year-old centre-forward can also play on the left side of attack and just completed a €28.5m transfer from Stade Reims after the initial loan period.

New coach Luis Enrique does not see Ekitike as part of his plans, so a loan with option to buy is possible.
