Tottenham Hotspur target Franck Kessie scored a superb goal on Friday night.
AC Milan’s Franck Kessie appears to be on Tottenham Hotspur’s radar – and they would have been impressed with his showing on Friday night.
Tottenham lost Moussa Dembele to Guangzhou R&F in the January transfer window, meaning Mauricio Pochettino needs another box-to-box midfielder in the Belgian’s place.
Tuttomercatoweb recently claimed that Spurs want to bring in Kessie, with Sportmediaset adding last weekend that Tottenham watched him against Atalanta.
Spurs should certainly keep the Ivorian on their radar, with TMW’s report claiming that Milan would want around £35million for the midfielder once his loan move from Atalanta becomes permanent.
Tottenham were surely impressed with Kessie’s performance on Friday night, as he scored in a superb 3-0 thumping of Empoli at the San Siro.
After Krzysztof Piatek scored yet again, Kessie strolled through to Empoli defence from a Samu Castillejo pass and dinked a cheeky finish over the goalkeeper and into the net.
The video below shows Kessie’s superb goal in a fine Milan victory, with Tottenham staff and fans no doubt watching with admiration.
One of the major criticisms of Dembele was that he didn’t score enough goals for Spurs, but Kessie’s finish against Empoli suggests that he could really develop into a a goalscoring box-to-box maestro.
