It is already well known that AC Milan will be active in the January mercato. As such, predictions regarding how Milan may line up have already started to be formed.
This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport revealed that the Rossoneri are lining up three deals to reignite their Scudetto charge. Firstly, they will finalise the deal for Juan Miranda – the Real Betis full-back. Next, they plan to add Jacob Kiwior and Jonathan David to the squad – both of whom the club have had a long-standing interest in signing.
Given Theo Hernandez has become a bit of a revelation at centre-back, the signing of Miranda offers Stefano Pioli cover should he choose to play the Frenchman centrally. Alternatively, should the Italian wish to rest his starting left-back, Miranda is a more than capable option instead of being forced to use a right-back on their opposite side.
The Rossoneri’s biggest hindrance this season has been their depth, or lack of it, in central defence. As such, adding Jacob Kiwior to their ranks not only strengthens their depth but also strengthens their starting defensive structure.
The Polish international has over 150 appearances across the Premier League, European competitions, and arguably most importantly, Serie A.
Finally, on the initial list of proposed additions is Jonathan David. A Canadian international and Ligue 1 winner with Lille, above all, a dynamic, entertaining goalscorer. Which is only made better by the fact he is only 23.
Whilst he may join as an understudy to Olivier Giroud originally, it is not out of the question that he will compete with the Frenchman and Luka Jovic for the starting shirt. After all, he has the credentials to cause Pioli a selection headache.
