AC Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti admits he wants to make a midfield signing in January.

"It is not easy to work in these conditions. It's clear that we have many problems due to the lack of midfielders and we are forced to play in a rough manner and with some players not in their usual positions," said Ancelotti.

"It is difficult to propose an effective system. If in the January market came a midfielder, certainly it would be useful. "
