Chelsea and Tottenham set for transfer scrap over €40m-rated Serie A midfield star

Chelsea and Tottenham are both reportedly looking to bolster their respective midfield options and AC Milan star Franck Kessie has appeared on their radars.

The 22-year-old has quickly established himself as a fundamental figure at San Siro since his arrival from Atalanta in 2017, making 75 appearances for the Rossoneri.

Nevertheless, with coach Gennaro Gattuso already light in midfield, he’ll likely be desperate to keep hold of his midfield general, although as noted by MilanNews.it, via the paper edition of Tuttosport, it’s been claimed that both Chelsea and Tottenham are interested, with Milan valuing their midfielder at €40m and above.
