AC Milan are in touch with the agent of Genoa wonderkid Pietro Pellegri, who has been linked with Arsenal, Chelsea, Monaco and Manchester City. 

Pellegri is making waves at Genoa in Serie A and the 16-year-old has netted twice in four games in the Italian top flight this season.




The striker's brace against Lazio last month made him the first 16-year-old ever to score twice in a major European league match.

Genoa are facing a battle to keep hold of the Italy Under-17 star and AC Milan are making sure they are kept informed of his situation.
 


According to Italian daily Tuttosport, the Rossoneri are in touch with Pellegri's agent, who also represents Udinese midfielder Jakub Jankto.

AC Milan are determined to be in the mix for the young striker and are already building bridges with his representative.

The Rossoneri are likely to face competition for Pellegri though, with a number of top clubs watching his progress closely.

Arsenal recently sent a scout to watch Pellegri in action, while the striker is also on Chelsea and Manchester City's radar.
