Milan eye Henry

AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed Arsenal striker Thierry Henry is among his transfer targets this summer.

Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o and Chelsea's Didier Drogba have all been linked with moves to the San Siro but it is France international Henry who is considered Milan's primary target.

Ancelotti said: "Henry is a great striker and among the players that we are interested in. Our wish is to acquire a midfielder and a striker this summer but they are all difficult signings to make."

Ancelotti had claimed just after the Champions League final that the club were on the brink of a major transfer coup.

He said in May: "Last summer there were not many players who wanted to come to Milan but there are more now.

"There's one none of you would suspect and if I was to tell you the world would end. We are delighted that he wants to play for Milan."
