Arsenal and Everton are both keeping tabs on the situation surrounding AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie ahead of the 2022 transfer windows.
That’s according to 90Min, who claim that Kessie is now wanted by a host of Premier League clubs.
Tottenham Hotspur have been strongly linked, but Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool and Manchester United are also in the race now.
Kessie fancies Premier League move
The report adds that Kessie is interested in a move to England. In fact, a switch to the Premier League is ‘high on the agenda’ for the Ivorian.
Milan are still hoping to agree a new deal with Kessie, but they’re running out of time.
Kessie is out of contract at the end of the season and could simply walk away on a free transfer.
Premier League clubs may be eyeing Kessie up for a cut-price move in January, with Milan approaching a point where they may be under pressure to sell.
Arsenal will face tough Tottenham battle
Calciomercato reported earlier this month that Tottenham are very keen on signing Kessie.
Fabio Paratici knows all about Kessie given his knowledge of Italian football, and Tottenham have allegedly signalled that they will pay Kessie £135,000-a-week to join them.
Arsenal, Everton and the other clubs in the race would seemingly have to offer similar wages.
Whether any of them can cough up the cash remain to be seen, but Kessie looks like being a bargain addition in 2022.
