AC Milan are going head-to-head with Chelsea for Roma striker Mirko Vucinic. Tuttosport says Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti sees Vucinic as ideal cover for Didier Drogba and the London giants are regarded as favourites for the Montenegro international.

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is also keen and is counting on his good relationship with Roma president Rosella Sensi to land the centre-forward.

The Rossoneri are turning to Vucinic after being frustrated in negotiations for Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano.

Vucinic has confirmed he's prepared to leave Roma - but only to a Champions League club.
