Milan Eye Up Kanoute

Milan are preparing a January transfer bid for Sevilla striker Frederic Kanoute, according to Spanish sports paper As.

The Malian international has been prolific since signing for the Rojiblancos in 2005 and has a virtual one-in-two goalscoring ratio. 

Milan’s forward crisis has been well-documented this season, with the Rossoneri currently possessing just three senior strikers in their first-team squad. 

Ronaldo has yet to play this campaign due to injury and it is anyone’s guess when he will finally return, while Alberto Gilardino and Filippo Inzaghi have been consistently misfiring in front of goal. 

Kanoute is admired by Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti and his combination of strength, height and technique could be just what the Rossoneri are looking for. 

A possible stumbling block could be his ineligibility to play in the Champions League. Ancelotti has openly confessed that the competition is Milan’s primary objective for the season, however Kanoute has already played three times for Sevilla. 

At 30-years-of-age the ex-Spurs man also hardly represents the future and, with a host of other players over the age of thirty in their squad, Milan may be better advised to look for a younger alternative.
