Galliani eyes five strikers
AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has revealed Emmanuel Adebayor is one of his transfer targets.
Carlo Ancelotti's side are looking to reinforce their forward line and the club are hoping to lure the Togo international to the San Siro. Chelsea star Didier Drogba, Barcelona forward Samuel Eto'o, Tottenham's Dimitar Berbatov and Stuttgart's Mario Gomez are also on Milan's wish list.
"The names are those that have been reported by the press," said Galliani. "That is Eto'o, Drogba, Adebayor, Gomez and Berbatov. Any of them would be good."
Galliani did admit that negotiations for 24-year-old Adebayor would not be easy with the player having signed a long-term contract at the Emirates Stadium only last year.
"He is under contract," admitted Galliani.
Meanwhile, Adebayor has played down speculation linking him with a move to the Italian giants.
Arsenal's leading marksman with 30 goals last season has consistently pledged his loyalty to the Gunners and it is understood that stance remains unwavered.
"I am very happy here. Reports which suggest I have threatened to quit are rubbish," he said.
"I love the club and the fans. We have a great set of players here with a fantastic team spirit."
