One Chelsea player could be about to become a key target for AC Milan and their technical director Geoffrey Moncada.
Shopping at Chelsea has not gone wrong for Milan of late. They bought Christian Pulisic from the Blues last summer, for example, and the winger has not let them down.
Pulisic has already scored seven goals for the Rossoneri this season, while he netted 15 times last term.
The 26-year-old could now be joined by another one of his former Chelsea teammates at the San Siro, with it being claimed that Milan are trying to sign Carney Chukwuemeka.

At this point, it would be a surprise if Milan did not make a move for Chukwuemeka in the January transfer window.
According to Calciomercato, Moncada is obsessed about Chukwuemeka, and the midfielder looks more than attainable.
In fact, the same outlet claims that Chukwuemeka will be leaving Chelsea, which is not a shock to hear.
He has not played a single minute of football in the Premier League under Enzo Maresca this season.

With Romeo Lavia fit again, Maresca has gone with a pivot of him and Moises Caicedo in Chelsea’s last two Premier League games.
It has seen Enzo Fernandez, a £100m midfielder, drop to the bench. If he faces a battle to get back into Maresca’s team, then there is absolutely no chance of Chukwuemeka getting a look-in.
With Cole Palmer being Cole Palmer, the 21-year-old cannot play further forward either.
Ultimately, a Chelsea exit looks inevitable. It has been claimed that Chukwuemeka has a £40m release clause in his contract, but with the England youth international not in his club’s plans, no one is going to pay that much money for him.
Chelsea are going to have to settle for a lower fee or send the former Aston Villa player out on loan.
