AC Milan boss Vincenzo Montella is excited by the impending loan signing of Chelsea midfielder Mario Pasalic.
The San Siro club have confirmed the 21-year-old is undergoing a medical, although those checks are taking longer than usual as they make sure a back injury which has kept him out of action since February has fully healed.
He has instead been loaned out to Elche and Monaco in the last two seasons, with a move to Milan set to see him farmed out for a third straight campaign.
"Pasalic is undergoing medical tests," said Montella ahead of Saturday's Serie A match against Napoli.
"He's a quality player, with a very offensive mentality. For many years he has been considered a future talent.
"Until today he has always played in a midfield two. Let's see which position he can take with us."
