AC Milan appear to have won the race to sign Pescara's Gianluca Lapadula after the player arrived at the San Siro for a medical.The 26-year-old striker had been linked with the Juventus, Napoli and Genoa, as well as Barclays Premier League winners Leicester, but a statement on AC Milan's official website confirmed he was undergoing a medical ahead of a deal rumoured to be costing 9million euros (£7.2million) plus add-ons."I really wanted to come to AC Milan," Lapadula was quoted as saying on Gazetto Dello Sport's website."It has been a very quick negotiation. I want to thank (sporting director Adriano) Galliani and the president (Silvio) Berlusconi for trusting me."Lapadula has found himself under the spotlight after steering his side to promotion via the play-offs last season, scoring an impressive 30 goals in 44 appearances in Serie B.
