Chelsea pursuing a deal for Franck Kessie.
According to transfer news from 90min (h/t Daily Mail), Chelsea have received a boost in their pursuit of Franck Kessie. The AC Milan midfielder has rejected the club’s contract renewal offer and wants to move to the Premier League next season. Along with Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are keeping tabs on the whole situation.
It’s not that Chelsea lack quality midfielders and they even managed to add a certain Saul Niguez to the side. However, the duo of Jorginho and N’Golo Kante are not getting any younger and Chelsea might have to look towards more youthful options that can shore up the midfield for the foreseeable future.
They are indeed doing so by keeping tabs on Franck Kessie of AC Milan. The Ivorian midfielder has become a real presence in the middle of the park for the Italian side and can chip in at both ends of the pitch. He is capable of shielding the back four and also chips in with his fair share of goals for the side.
Now, Kessie is set to be out of contract by the end of the season and the latest developments should encourage Chelsea. Kessie is said to have rejected a new deal from Milan and is keen on a move to the Premier League. The 24-year-old wants to play in the Premier League and sees the style of play better suited to his skillset.
It is definitely good news for Chelsea that the 24-year-old Ivorian is not renewing his deal with Milan and wants a move to the Premier League. He can turn out to be a real asset for the side should Chelsea be able to nab him for free. However, it will not be that easy with other Premier League sides such as Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal also in the running.
