AC Milan are eyeing Chelsea defender Benoit Badiashile for the January market.

La Gazzetta dello Sport says Milan are showing interest in the Frenchman.

The Italian giants have Pierre Kalulu on the injury list and are therefore on the lookout for a new centre-back.

Simon Kjaer also has nagging injury problems, which means Milan have a strong need for a new reinforcement in January.

As such, Milan are planning to open negotiations with Chelsea to take Badiashile on loan for the rest of the season.
