Tottenham Hotspur are once again interested in signing Franck Kessie and there is a ‘serious’ chance of a deal for the Barcelona man.
Catalan newspaper SPORT report that many clubs are interested in signing Kessie this summer.
Tottenham are described as being ‘very interested’ in signing Kessie and there is ‘serious options’ for the deal to go through.
Barcelona are thought to be open to selling Kessie in order to bring in money to strengthen other areas of the team.
Kessie is often linked with Tottenham and it looks like the rumours are returning to the summer too.
90Min claim that Tottenham had explored a move to sign Kessie back in December and Tuttomercatoweb reported in January that Tottenham had made contact to try and sign Kessie.
The midfielder refused to leave Barcelona in January though and rejected all approaches.
Kessie seemed determined to prove himself at Barcelona but a summer deal appears a little more likely.

Kessie seemed to be a bargain signing for Barcelona as they pounced to sign him on a free transfer from AC Milan.
Kessie had helped Milan win the Serie A title last season and Barcelona snapped him up.
However, Kessie has started just four La Liga games this season and clearly isn’t in Xavi’s ideal starting XI for Barcelona.
Barcelona are now tempted to flip Kessie for a quick profit and Tottenham are keen.
The Ivorian – branded a ‘devastating’ midfielder by Antonio Cassano – understandably wants to prove himself at Barca.
But if he is just going to sit on the bench and stagnate in Catalunya, Kessie may be better off moving to Tottenham.
Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici know Conte well from Italian football and may believe that he can bring something different to Tottenham.
A powerful box-to-box midfielder with the potential to score goals, Kessie would add real quality to the Spurs midfield if a deal can be done.
