AC Milan are determined to keep hold of Theo Hernandez next month.

The Guardian says Chelsea are keen to sign AC Milan left-back Hernandez in the upcoming January transfer window.

Hernandez has reportedly been identified as a target by those in command at Stamford Bridge, with the Blues able to benefit from the addition of a new recruit to provide cover for the injured Ben Chilwell.

However, such a move would be 'expensive and difficult' to engineer due to Milan's reluctance to sell the Frenchman in the middle of the season.

Hernandez has also been linked with PSG this season.
