TBR Football understands that AC Milan are dreaming about the possibility of signing Tottenham Hotspur left-back Destiny Udogie this summer.
The Italian giants have just sold Theo Hernandez to Al-Hilal for £22m and are now searching for a replacement for the Frenchman.
Milan have a list of several Premier League options, but Spurs’ Italian international is right at the top of their desired targets.
Tottenham Hotspur ideally don’t want to sell the 22-year-old this summer, but the chance to play at the San Siro is enticing the young defender.

Sources have informed Graeme Bailey – Chief Correspondent at TBR Football that Destiny Udogie is open to joining AC Milan this summer, with the chance to work alongside Massimiliano Allegri proving rather appealing.
The North London club would rather not sell the defender this summer, given his impressive performances during their Europa League campaign.
Aged just 22, Udogie is likely to keep getting better, and under a coach like Thomas Frank, his game could take on another dimension.
Frank used the rather attacking Keane Lewis-Potter at left-back when he was at Brentford, and Udogie could fill a similar role under the Dane in North London.
However, should Milan decide to make their move for the youngster, the new Spurs boss will need to convince him that staying at Spurs will be best for him.
Udogie, who was called “amazing”, could yet be attracted to the prospect of playing under Frank and in the Champions League next season.
Oleksandr Zinchenko from Arsenal also targeted by AC Milan
Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko is another transfer target on Milan’s shortlist as they assess various options.
The Ukrainian defender could be a tricky option to land, though, as despite having just 12 months left on his contract, he is currently on a big wage at the Emirates Stadium.

Zinchenko, who cost Arsenal £30m, started just eight times for the Gunners last season, therefore, he could be keen for a change of scenery this summer.
TBR Football can also confirm that Fulham’s Antonee Robinson is someone Milan have long-term interest in, but his price is too high.
There is also an English defender on Milan’s radar – someone who TBR Football understand Tottenham have done work on – and that is Gent’s Archie Brown. They also like Genoa’s Honest Ahanor.
