Milan are reportedly close to following up the deal for West Ham’s Niclas Fullkrug with the potential signing of Partizan Belgrade’s Andrej Kostic.

Fullkrug to Milan is effectively a done deal, with a medical seemingly on the cards for the Germany international.
The West Ham man is the short-term answer to an immediate problem, a loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.
However, the Rossoneri are not slowing down, with reports suggesting Kostic to Milan is also nearing completion.
Calciomercato claims that, in the past few hours, Igli Tare has met with the 18-year-old’s agent, Darko Ristic.
This has been dubbed an important, likely decisive, meeting to finalize both the contract and the fee to be paid to the Serbian club.
Milan and Partizan are reportedly close to reaching an agreement for the sale of Kostic for approximately €5million, including bonuses.
The Montenegro international is likely to be a development signing, aimed at raising the Rossoneri’s attacking ceiling over time.
Milan reportedly expect Kostic to begin with Milan Futuro, rather than walk straight into Massimiliano Allegri’s matchday plans.
With Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku both facing uncertain futures at Milan, the club is taking action for the present and future.
Who is Andrej Kostic?
Andrej Kostic is a 6ft 2in, right-footed centre-forward who can also operate as a second striker, giving coaches flexibility in a two-man front line.
The teenage forward stands out for his physical profile and hold-up play.
Kostic is comfortable receiving with his back to goal, using his body to protect the ball, and bringing runners into the attack.
Despite his size, he is not just a static target. Reports describing his game highlight runs in behind and quick acceleration over the first few metres.
This makes him a threat on transitions and through-balls.
His reputation as a finisher is building quickly too. Serbian coverage note how fast he has adapted at Partizan, even drawing early comparisons to Dušan Vlahović.
