Aaron Hickey named AC Milan transfer 'priority' as Paolo Maldini escalates interest in rising Scotland star

Bologna star Aaron Hickey is top of AC Milan's summer transfer wish list going into the summer window, according to a report.

The 19-year-old has turned heads with his brilliant displays for Sinisa Mihajlovic's side and is regarded as one of the finest young talents in the top tier of Italian football.

Hickey has taken the next step to international football after being handed his first Scotland cap against Poland by Steve Clarke.

Bologna look set to face a fight to keep the former Hearts kid on their books with their Serie A rivals ramping up their interest.

La Gazzetta dello Sport claim the defender is one of the Rossoneri's priorities for the summer transfer market as they look for left-back reinforcements.

Theo Hernández is the first-choice full-back at the San Siro but the former Hearts starlet is seen as a viable alternative.

The report notes that Milan technical director Paolo Maldini has been a long-term admirer of Hickey.

Bologna could demand up to £15million if they are to be tempted into letting Hickey leave for the Italian title challengers.
