AC Milan eye Newcastle United's Olivier Kemen?

Newcastle United's French midfielder Olivier Kemen has emerged as a transfer target for Italian giants AC Milan, according to reports.

The 19-year-old moved to St James' Park from FC Metz in 2013, but is yet to make a senior appearance for the Magpies.

The Rossoneri have begun negotiations with Newcastle over a move for the midfielder, reports L'Equipe, but they are thought to face competition from Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur for his signature.

Kemen, who was born in Cameroon but represents France, is the captain of France's Under-19 side.
