AC Milan chief Ivan Gazidis says success in Europe is the next target for the new Serie A champions.

Gazidis insists Milan's "DNA" is built on European success.

“Milan was built on success in Europe, so that is a really important part of our DNA," he told the BBC.

“For us, that is our next step, to become more competitive on the European front."

Gazidis also praised former Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori's influence on Milan's success.

“Fikayo has been extraordinary throughout the season," he added. “He is absolutely a pillar of this team.

“He is one of the players we would like to build our team around – and he has been a fantastic addition on and off the field."
