Kluivert set for AC Milan

DUTCH striker Patrick KIuivert is set to move from Ajax to AC Milan next season

DUTCH striker Patrick KIuivert is set to move from Ajax to AC Milan next season. Kluivert said yesterday that he would be signing a four-year contract with the Italian side.

Kluivert's contract with Ajax expires at the end of this season and the former European champions cannot expect a transfer fee.

Kluivert said last month he was considering offers from several big foreign clubs and wanted to make a fresh start abroad.

He will join his former Ajax team mates and close friends Edgar Davids and Michael Reiziger at Milan.

A spokesman for AC Milan and the Italian League said they could neither confirm or deny the agreement.
