Montella excited as AC Milan close in on Pasalic

Chelsea's Mario Pasalic is set for a third consecutive loan move, with AC Milan his latest destination.

AC Milan boss Vincenzo Montella is excited by the impending loan signing of Chelsea midfielder Mario Pasalic.

The San Siro club have confirmed the 21-year-old is undergoing a medical, although those checks are taking longer than usual as they make sure a back injury which has kept him out of action since February has fully healed.

Pasalic, a central midfielder, signed for Chelsea from Hajduk Split in July 2014, but is yet to make an appearance for the club.
