Reports in Italy are suggesting that Porto stopper Elaquim Mangala has caught the attention of Milan.

The centre-back is admired by a number of top European sides following his move from Standard Liege in 2011.

Mangala, just 22, does fit in with the Diavolo’s new direction of signing promising young players with a potentially good future.

Porto value the French Under-21 international at around the €20m figure. Manchester City are also interested in the player.
