AC Milan [ Images ] have agreed to sign Ghanaian forward Dominic Adiyiah from Norway's Fredrikstad in January while a loan deal for David Beckham [ Images ] will be announced soon, chief executive Adriano Galliani said on Saturday.

Adiyiah, 20, was top scorer when Ghana won the Under-20 World Cup in October and is being bought because Milan's pickup in form has coincided with a switch to a 4-3-3 formation.

"The deal with the Norwegian club is done, now he has to get permission to come to Italy [ Images ]. Naturally he must pass a medical," Galliani told Milan's television channel.

"Our tactics have changed, we needed a wide forward who can alternate with those already here and we've made our move."

Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder Beckham spent five months on loan at Milan last season and a repeat spell from January has been in the pipeline for months as he aims to secure a place in England's [ Images ] World Cup squad.

"In a matter of hours, I hope to be able to announce the return of David Beckham," added Galliani, who is celebrating 30 years working for Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi [ Images ].

Despite his joy at the signings and Milan's 2-0 win over Parma on Saturday, Galliani was worried by another low attendance figure at the San Siro.

"It's a shame that there's been an unjustified drop-off in the attendance. We accept it even if the figures are worrying. We'll try everything possible to recover our fans," he said.

Leonardo's side had a poor start to the season but are now up to fourth in Serie A.
