AC Milan are keen to make a summer move for Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke, according to reports in Italy.
The Belgian international has struggled this season for form after a number of niggling injuries and poor team form which has left Villa sitting just above the relegation zone.
The 24-year-old has been linked with a move away from Villa Park in the past with both Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea linked.
According to The Mirror, Milan have been watching closely in recent weeks and were hugely impressed with his hat-trick at the weekend against Queens Park Rangers.
Benteke joined Villa from Belgian side Genk in 2012.
