AC Milan are seemingly in the market for a defensive midfielder and one player that they have been linked with recently is Lecce’s Morten Hjulmand. A perfect addition for the Rossoneri, as Franco Ordine argues.
The pre-season friendlies in the United States highlighted Milan’s lack of a defensive midfielder, with Rade Krunic taking on the role as the deep-lying midfielder. A solution that won’t be enough, as Franco Ordine explains.
In his latest editorial for MilanNews, the Milan pundit stated that Morten Hjulmand – who has been linked with the Rossoneri – is ‘what it takes’ to fill the midfield hole. Furthermore, he would find a compatriot in Simon Kjaer in the squad to help him speed up the acclimatisation process, as Ordine concludes.
A lot depends on the possible transfer of Krunic to Fenerbahce, of course, but some would argue that Milan need a defensive midfielder anyway. Stefano Pioli will likely try Yunus Musah in that role once training is back underway on Sunday.
