Sky UK: Milan among the teams in the running for Morocco midfield star Ounahi

AC Milan are interested in signing Angers midfielder Azzedine Ounahi but face competition from at least three clubs, a report claims.

Ounahi has been gathering speculation after a very impressive World Cup with Morocco. The 22-year-old was a key part of the side that were the surprise package of the tournament in Qatar, reaching the semi-finals before ultimately losing to France.

According to a report from Sky Sports in the UK, there are two currently unnamed Premier League clubs want to sign Ounahi. Napoli are thought to have made an offer for the player too but for the summer, while Milan are also mentioned as having an interest.

Milan currently have Ismael Bennacer and Sandro Tonali as their starting double pivot but they do not really have a third option that offers the same guarantees as someone like Franck Kessie did last season, even if Tommaso Pobega returned from loan and Aster Vranckx was signed.
