Chelsea and Liverpool to miss out as AC Milan close in on signing Italy Under-21 star Andrea Conti

AC Milan are closing in on Chelsea and Liverpool target Andrea Conti with the defender set for a medical this week, according to reports in Italy.

The Atalanta star has been the subject of much speculation so far this summer, with a number of Europe's top clubs interested in snapping him up.

Conti, 23, starred at the recent Under-21 European Championships for Italy and has developed into one of the hottest prospects around Europe.

Both Liverpool and Chelsea hold an interest in the young star but Milan were always clear favourites to land the full-back.
