Milan target Dominic Adiyiah has made some big promises if he joins them, claiming he will be like Barcelona's Lionel Messi.

The 20-year-old Fredrikstad sensation is expected to join the Rossoneri during the winter transfer window, and he has clear ideas for the future.

"I have done what [Javier] Saviola, [Lionel] Messi, and [Sergio] Aguero did, and now I want to copy their careers," Adiyiah is quoted as saying on Goal.com Italia.

Although the move is not official yet, Milan vice president Adriano Galliani has confirmed the Ghanaian striker will arrive in January, subject to passing a medical.

"We have taken Adiyiah because he could be a good alternative to Ronaldinho and [Alexandre] Pato," said Galliani.

"If he passes the medical tests, then he will be our player and we will sign him in January. We already have an agreement with the Norwegian club Fredrikstad."

The Rossoneri clash with Real Madrid in the Champions League tomorrow.
