AC Milan’s Kessie is reportedly attracting interest from the Premier League, with Everton and West Ham United just some of his admirers.
Neutral supporters on Twitter have lauded the performance of reported Everton and West Ham United target Kessie after he helped Ivory Coast to a 4-1 win over Nambia on Monday.
The 22-year-old provided three assists for his home country, as they booked their place in the last-16 of the Africa Cup of Nations, with Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha also getting on the scoresheet.
Italian outlet Calciomercato have previously claimed that Everton have joined the race for the AC Milan player, with the Daily Express reporting that West Ham are also keen, as Milan value their player at £30 million.
Well, his recent performance in the AFCON cup will only increase the interest in him, with Everton and West Ham keen to bulk up their squads ahead of the new season.
Marco Silva and Manuel Pellegrini were in their first seasons in charge of their respective teams last term, with the duo guiding them to top 10 finishes – Everton finished eighth and the Hammers squeezed into 10th place on the last day of the season.
Anyhow, both will be expected to push and finish in a European place next term. And, not forgetting that there will be a need to produce the goods in the domestic competitions.
A player like Kessie would help their midfield, as he has the all-round qualities to dominate a game, but he can be a bit of a hit and miss sometimes.
