AC Milan are weighing up a summer move for Aston Villa centre-forward Christian Benteke.

The burly striker hit a superb hat-trick in their 3-3 draw with QPR on Tuesday night.

Calciomercato.com says Milan, desperate to find a new centre-forward, are preparing to test Villa's resolve at the end of the season.

The Rossoneri believe they can tempt Villa to sell with an offer in the region of €10 million.

Since the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic two years ago, Milan have tried Giampaolo Pazzini, Alessandro Matri, Mario Balotelli, Fernando Torres and Mattia Destro without success.
