If, for the right-back position, Milan’s top target in this summer transfer window is Guéla Doué from Strasbourg, then according to Corriere dello Sport on newsstands today, for the left flank, the Rossoneri's sporting director Igli Tare is very fond of Archie Brown.
Born in 2002, the Englishman of Jamaican descent played 46 matches last season in Belgium with Gent, scoring 3 goals and providing 6 assists. A native of Birmingham, he previously played for Derby County in England and Lausanne in Switzerland before joining Gent.
Milan have made contact for Brown, who, according to the source, is also liked by other Italian clubs (Bologna, editor’s note) and are seriously considering him as a replacement for Theo Hernández, who is expected to soon join Al-Hilal. Brown could also be useful as a left-footed central defender.
There were contacts again yesterday, and Milan will try to advance talks further during the week. The deal could be completed for a fee between €10 and €15 million.
