Empoli have signed AC Milan striker Daniel Maldini.

Maldini has joined Empoli on a season-long loan with the option to buy. Milan also will retain a buy-back option.

The striker is the son of Milan legend and former technical Paolo Maldini.

Maldini spent last season on-loan with Spezia, where he made 18 appearances and scored two goals.

The 21 year-old striker is an Italy U20 international.
