AC Milan interested in Botman

According to a recent report from Sky Sport Italia, AC Milan have entered the race to try and sign Sven Botman from Lille.

The defender, who was linked with a move to Wolverhampton Wanderers last summer, is now a wanted man with a string of clubs across Europe all being invested in trying to sign him. 

Liverpool and Newcastle United are also in the hunt for his signature but Milan are the ones who are said to be in the most advanced position. Given their current standing it makes sense for them to want to bring in some defensive reinforcements, and they may begin that process as early as the January transfer window.

Milan are one of the leading contenders in the race for the Serie A title and introducing someone like Botman into the equation could really help with squad depth as the campaign rapidly approaches its second half.
