Aston Villa midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka has welcomed an approach from AC Milan.

Inside the final year of his Villa contract, the teen has been transfer-listed this summer after refusing to consider new terms.

The midfielder has now been approached by Milan, reports La Gazzetta dello Sport, and has told the Rossonero he's willing to move to Italy.

Chukwuemeka is rated at €20m by Villa, though Milan will push to strike terms for €15m.

Milan are confident talking down Villa's price given they can secure the player to a pre-contract from January 1 and sign him nothing in June.
