Milan set to sign a replacement for De Jong

AC Milan are set to sign a replacement for injured midfielder Nigel De Jong in the January transfer window.

The Dutch midfielder snapped his achilles tendon in his side's 4-2 victory at Torino on Sunday and could miss the rest of the season.

Milan president Silvio Berlusconi said: 'We’re disappointed, it is a real shame for De Jong.

'We’re evaluating the opportunity of going back on to the market if that is what is necessary.'
