Stephan El Shaarawy to sign new Milan contract?

Stephan El Shaarawy is reportedly on the verge of signing a new contract with AC Milan.

The Italian striker has been in superb form for the Rossoneri this season and is expected to be rewarded with an improved deal according to Gazetta dello Sport.

El Shaarawy, who is nicknamed 'Little Pharaoh' due to his half-Egyptian descent, joined Milan on a permanent basis last summer after a co-ownership deal with Genoa.

It is understood that a new deal will keep him at the club until 2018.
