AC Milan are looking to strengthen their defence and attack with a number of different names targeted both domestically and abroad, a report claims.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, central defender Alessandro Marcandalli is attracting Milan's interest with his impressive performances for Reggiana (on loan from Genoa), while Akor Adams - a striker playing at Montpellier - is also earning rave reviews.

Akor Adams has been one of the breakout players in Ligue 1 this season with seven goals scored in 11 appearances. Last season the Nigerian striker played for Lillestrom SK, a team in the Eliteserien in Norway, where he scored 15 goals in 15 games.

Marcandalli is one of the defenders who has stood out most in Serie B this season. Having come through Genoa's youth team, the Italian centre-back of Nigerian origin is now starting for Reggiana, having made 12 starts under head coach Alessandro Nesta.

Also on the centre-back list are Lloyd Kelly of Bournemouth (for June) and Radu Dragusin of Genoa, as well as Finn van Breemen of Basel.
