AC Milan are among the clubs monitoring Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly.
The 25-year old centre back is out of contract in the summer and has shown no inclination to sign an extension.
Tottenham made a £20million offer to sign the England U21 international in August but Kelly opted to stay and will have a greater choice of options from January onwards as he looks to leave on a free next summer.
Their interest in Kelly comes amid an injury crisis at the heart of Stefano Pioli’s defence.
