Boca Juniors defender Ezequiel Munoz is emerging as a surprise January target for AC Milan.

Milan chief Ariedo Braida, accompanied by scout Marcelo Simonian, has made a personal check on the 18 year-old this season.

Indeed, a source close to the player told calciomercato.com: "It is very likely the player will end up in Milan - and it could happen as early as January."
