Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur 'considering Franck Kessie move'

By Ben Knapton, Senior Reporter | 07 December 2020

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur reportedly weigh up approaches for AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie, who is said to be valued at £45m by the Rossoneri.

AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie has reportedly attracted interest from North London duo Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.

The 23-year-old has been instrumental in Milan's rise to the top of the Serie A table, notching up four goals and three assists in the top flight for the in-form Rossoneri this term.

The Ivory Coast international is under contract at San Siro until 2022, and Milan are supposedly working to try to tie Kessie down to a new long-term deal following his strong performances.

However, Calciomercato claim that Arsenal and Spurs are both keeping a close eye on developments, and the two rivals are weighing up approaches for the former Atalanta man.

The report claims that it would take a bid of £45m to prise Kessie away from Milan, but the midfielder is said to be enjoying his time with the Rossoneri and is unlikely to consider an exit anytime soon.

Kessie's midfield partner at San Siro is former Arsenal protege Ismael Bennacer - whom the Gunners let go back in 2017 - a decision which the powers-that-be in North London reportedly cannot comprehend.
