Milan is known as the city of fashion, but this month it could prove to be the city of footballing renaissance for one of England's most recognisable stars.
Kyle Walker informed Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola last week that he wanted to 'explore options to play abroad'.
The bombshell revelation came after Walker, who has been a star of the Premier League and regularly part of England squads over the past decade, has endured a difficult campaign.
Several clubs across Europe and beyond have subsequently been linked with moves for Walker, but AC Milan have emerged as the frontrunners for his signature.
