Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams is wanted by Italian champions AC Milan.

The San Siro club are looking at the United States star as a possible long-term replacement for Franck Kessie.

Milan lost Kessie in the summer to Barcelona on a free transfer, but never adequately replaced him.

Per Italian outlet Gazetta dello Sport, Milan are assessing various options in the market.

One “Moneyball"-type signing that has been linked to the club is Adams.

They believe the 24-year-old has the physique, technical ability, and scope for improvement to succeed in Serie A.
