Sampdoria seek loan deal for AC Milan striker Shevchenko

Sampdoria will sound out AC Milan in the coming days for Andriy Shevchenko.

Sportmediaset says Samp chief Beppe Marotta will move for Shevchenko at the beginning of the week about a six-month loan.

The Ukraine international is well down the pecking order at Milan since arriving from Chelsea and would join Samp as a first-choice strike-partner for Antonio Cassano.

If Sheva was to arrive in Genoa, Samp will allow Emiliano Bonazzoli to join Reggina.
