Milan, although the reigning champions of Italy, need attacking help.

De Ketelaere is a versatile attacker, being able to play as a centre-forward as well as an attacking midfielder. He can provide relief for both the strikers and the inconsistent Brahim Diaz.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/07\/23\/ac-milan-are-after-young-midfielder\/\" target=\"_self\">AC Milan Are Chasing a Young Premier League Midfielder<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/07\/19\/ac-milan-are-pushing-belgian-youngster\/\" target=\"_self\">The chase for De Ketelaere<\/a> has dragged on for quite some time now.
