Milan and Watford are reportedly battling it out to sign €20m-rated Olympique Lyonnais attacker Maxwel Cornet.
According to L’Equipe, Milan are interested in Cornet and have ‘already met his camp several times’.
However, the newspaper warns they face competition from Watford, who have opened talks with not only his representatives but also Lyon officials.
The 22-yard-old is capable of playing as a centre-forward or on the wide right and has two goals in eight caps for Ivory Coast.
However, the former Roma target has started just one Ligue 1 game this season, with the likes of Memphis Depay and Bertrand Traore blocking his route into the first team.

we should go for Memphis Depay 😘 instead of him. Depay is fast and strong also good with his feet 💪 he can play as LW and false no.9 and also full striker
we need a good left forward as calhonglu is a cam. he needs space in midfield to create chances but he is still being used as a winger.

Not sure we need a winger, but quality is quality.

Would he be likely to come to us Can see why he wouldn't, since it's not like we're offering megabucks wages compared to most Prem teams.

Anyone willing to pay €20m for Cornet is insane.
