AC Milan boss Allegri explains who he wants to buy this summer

AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri has dropped a big hint of who they hope to sign this summer.

The Scudetto winners have made it clear they want a left-sided midfielder with names like Marek Hamsik and Gareth Bale suggested.

"Who is our top target? Full head of hair, EU passport, 1.83m tall, a robust physique and excellent feet," Allegri told Milan Channel.

The description seems to rule out players like Udinese's Kwadwo Asamoah, while it could point towards Tottenham star Bale.

"Hamsik can become an exceptional player, but he is not top of our list. As for other strikers, we have six now and do not need an understudy to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

"Paulo Ganso is a trequartista and I'd have to train him in order to know what he can do.

"I have learned a great deal from being near Adriano Galliani during negotiations. He confirmed what a great director he is and it was wonderful that he asked me to participate in this."
