Ajax's Urby Emanuelson moves to Milan

AC Milan have at long last got a left sided player in Ajax's Urby Emanuelson. The Serie A club have dwelved into the market looking for a left back/midfielder and had been interested in Cagliari's Andrea Lazzari, Genoa's Domenico Criscito and Sampdoria's Reto Zeigler among others.

Emanuelson was in the last year of his contract at Ajax and Milan decided to move in and capture the 24 year old, who has had 7 seasons with the first team. This is Milan's second signing after they got Antonia Cassano early on.

Emanuelson is understood to have signed a contract with the San Siro club until June 30, 2014.

Milan's defense line was a little frail with no back up to the likes of the injured Gianluca Zambrotta and the out of form Luca Antonini.

The financial deatils are yet to be revealed by the Rossoneri. "AC Milan announce the purchase from Ajax of Urby Emanuelson, who has signed a contract until June 30, 2014," a club statement said.

Emanuelson was due to move in June in a Bosman transfer but a deal was struck by AC Milan for his immediate capture. Emanuelson has won 11 Dutch caps.
