LA Lakers basketball star Kobe Bryant has revealed that he has "always" been a supporter of AC Milan.

The 34-year-old visited the club's training centre at the weekend to work on his recovery from an Achilles injury.

"I have always been a Milan fan," Bryant told Milan's TV channel. "Back in LA I have a Milan scarf and shirt hanging up in my locker room."

During his visit, Bryant was given his own Milan shirt with his number 24 emblazoned on the back.
