Milan land Sevilla defender Simon Kjaer

The Denmark international - who had been on loan at Atalanta this season - joined the Andalusian club from Turkish side Fenerbahçe two summers ago and had made 64 first-team appearances for Los Rojiblancos in the time since before exiting on loan last summer.

The 30-year-old is on loan at Atalanta but is finding regular playing time hard to come by, making just five appearances in all competitions to date this campaign.

He was brought in last summer to replace Martin Skrtel, who left the Bergamo side after only a month at the club but has failed to make an impression in northern Italy.

Despite his lack of minutes, Kjaer is vastly experienced in Serie A from his time at Palermo and Roma and has been capped on 97 occasions for Denmark.
