We recently reported via our colleagues at SempreMilan.it that Milan are already hard at work looking for a replacement for Fode Ballo-Toure and there are already three names on the list, with Hickey being one of them.
The Scotland international is a young talent that would represent a valid alternative to Theo Hernandez on the left lank. Hickey is in his second year in Serie A but is two years younger than the other options mentioned in that article, and he has already scored 5 goals this season showing himself to be a gamble that paid off for Bologna.
Hickey addressed a question regarding his future – with his quotes relayed by Football Scotland – and made it clear that for the time being he is only focused on Bologna, certainly offering no signs that a summer move might be on the cards.
“My goal this season was to play more games than last season. I achieved that aim and that’s something I am very happy about. The important thing is to keep my head down and keep improving with a coaching staff that are helping me a lot,” he said.
“Now I think about my future only here in Bologna. The way we play helps me a lot compared to what I was used to in Scotland. In terms of my progress, I have to keep improving to gain experience and help the team. But personally, I think I still need to improve both in the attacking and defensive parts of my game.”
