Ligue 1 : Andre-Pierre Gignac (Toulouse)
Milan have taken a look at highly-rated Toulouse striker Andre-Pierre Gignac as a possible replacement for Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

According to Il Corriere Dello Sport, the French international could be the answer to solving the questions up front for Leonardo.

Gignac has scored three goals in Ligue 1 this season, 40 in total, 29 of which have arrived with Toulouse.

The report suggests the hitman would be the ideal replacement if Huntelaar leaves. The Dutchman has again been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur after failing to make an impact at the San Siro.

Off-loading him and then signing the Frenchman will not be a simple task. It is said Arsenal had a €15 million bid rebuffed from the French side in the summer, and Olympique Lyonnais also had advances blocked.

Voices claim Milan are now ready to spark up a discourse with Toulouse. The Rossoneri apparently want Gignac to arrive on a loan deal in January. They would then work a permanent move in the summer.

Recent arrival Dominic Adiyiah will be involved in the African Cup of Nations, and Leonardo is eager to have some back up in his squad.

Neither club have added any substance to the move. Last week, Milan vice president Adriano Galliani claimed the only winter arrivals would be David Beckham and Adiyiah.
