Premier League duo Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly monitoring AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie, who has also been linked with Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly keeping tabs on AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie ahead of a possible summer bidding war.

Kessie has established himself as a key member of Gennaro Gattuso's first team since his arrival at San Siro in 2017 and has featured in 21 of his side's 23 Serie A outings so far this term.

The 22-year-old's contract does not expire until 2021, but Milan may be tempted to cash in on him if they receive a good enough offer.

The Italian giants remain concerned about Financial Fair Play and could try to avoid sanctions by offloading players such as Kessie, who is valued at around €30m (£26.3m).

Calciomercato reports that both Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in the Ivory Coast international, but that Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are currently leading the race for his signature.

Kessie has already made 81 appearances for Milan, scoring eight goals in that time.
