AC Milan are interested in Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen.

Sky Italia says the Rossoneri are eager to strengthen their defensive options and coach Stefano Pioli has personally expressed interest in the 24-year-old Dane.

Christensen's contract with the Blues runs to 2022 and he could be cashed in as Chelsea seek to recoup some of the £200m-plus they have spent this summer.

In the current season, the Dane has played three matches in the Premier League.

Christensen has also been linked with a return to Germany, where he enjoyed two successful years on-loan with Borussia Monchengladbach.
