An imminent shake-up to the attacking ranks of Italian giants AC Milan has been confirmed late on Friday evening.
This comes amid a last-ditch deadline day effort on the part of the San Siro brass to reinforce Stefano Pioli’s squad.
Coming through the door ahead of this evening’s Serie A deadline, as confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, will be Fiorentina star Luka Jovic.
The Serbian hitman is expected to arrive on a one-year loan deal, with Milan covering his wages in full:

*Update* – Jovic’s signing has since in fact been revealed to be a permanent one, with the former Real Madrid talent having penned a contract through the summer of 2024, featuring the option for a further year.
Making way for the latest addition to the Rossoneri’s ranks, meanwhile, will be Divock Origi.
A year, and just 10 Serie A starts later, though, the 28-year-old is primed for a return to England.
In a further update by way of the aforementioned Fabrizio Romano, it has been confirmed that Origi is currently in the process of undergoing a medical with Nottingham Forest.
His City Ground switch will come in the form of a one-year loan, featuring the option to buy.
