AC Milan: 'Keisuke Honda will not arrive until January'

AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has revealed that the club will not sign CSKA Moscow midfielder Keisuke Honda this summer.

The 27-year-old, who has six months remaining on his current deal with the Russian club, recently revealed his desire to join the Italian outfit before the end of August.

"Honda? He won't come now. But his contract expires in December and I hope he will arrive in January," he told Mediaset Premium.

A number of European clubs are also believed to be interested in Honda's services.
