AC Milan are looking for a striker ahead of next season, with Olivier Giroud being LA-bound, and a new name has emerged on their radar: Kevin Denkey. According to a report, the management is monitoring him closely.
Denkey, who plays for Cercle Brugge in Belgium, has scored 23 goals this season out of 28 league games. This is the 23-year-old’s breakthrough season. He began his professional career in France and joined his current team in 2021.
Given that Denkey is valued at €15 million, Milan is closely monitoring his growth, according to Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com. The Togo international might be one of the two strikers that the Rossoneri recruit in light of Giroud’s departure and the uncertainty surrounding Luka Jovic’s future.
According to the report’s conclusion, Milan is still interested in Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee, and Denkey might join as a committed backup. With the player’s obvious potential, it would undoubtedly be a cheap signing for the Rossoneri, and the agreement might have enormous benefits.
Milan will have to rely on Giroud in the interim, although he wasn’t exactly at his best against Roma, wasting a clear opportunity from close range.
