AC Milan received a surprise visit from one of the most recognizable athletes in the world.
LA Lakers star Kobe Bryant was at Milan's training centre, Milanello, where he revealed he is a huge fan of the Rossoneri.
Bryant, who is currently recovering from an Achilles injury that ended his season last year, was at the state-of-the-art centre to work on recovering from his injury.
He told Milan's TV channel: 'I have always been a Milan fan. Back in LA I have a Milan scarf and shirt hanging up in my locker room.'
The NBA star, part of the Olympic gold medal winning team at London 2012, was handed a top with his number, 24, on the back.
Bryant suffered the tendon injury just 12 weeks ago and was expected to be sidelined for between six and nine months. He was at the training centre to help recovery from the injury.
But there are already rumours that he will make a remarkable recovery and be back in time to start the new season.
He was greeted by Milan players Andrea Poli and Daniele Bonera and signed autographs and took pictures with players and staff.
