Double swoop
The 28-year-old has agreed a four-year contract to become Milan's second signing since the UEFA Champions League final defeat by Liverpool FC. The arrival of Switzerland midfielder Johann Vogel from PSV Eindhoven was announced on Thursday.
Key player
Jankulovski, who is currently recovering from a fractured ankle and faces another two months' rehabilitation, was a key player in Udinese's fine 2004/05 season which ended in a fourth-place finish and UEFA Champions League qualification.
Versatile performer
The former FC Baník Ostrava and SSC Napoli player can operate as a left-back or on the left side of midfield and can both defend and score goals - 16 in 91 league appearances over three seasons at the Friuli stadium.
