West Ham are reportedly eyeing Franck Kessie.
West Ham are reported to be eyeing a move for AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie.
Tuttomercatoweb report the Hammers are interested in the midfielder, who is also on Wolves’ radar, and links the club with a £31 million move.
Kessie would strengthen West Ham, and his arrival would be bad news for summer addition Jack Wilshere.
Wilshere had a poor start to the season for the Hammers, who only registered their first win once he was out of the side and on the treatment table.
The injury prone midfielder is not expected back until late November, Premier Injuries report.
Kessie, 21, is five years younger than Wilshere and has no such problematic injury history.
He struck five goals for Milan last season and has two this season already.
His 17 career goals in 133 games are more than Wilshere’s eight in 242 matches.
Competition for places in West Ham’s midfield looks tough already for Wilshere after Declan Rice’s prominent performances in the position since his injury.
A big money move for Kessie would make it even tougher, and could even spell an early end for the former Arsenal man’s spell at the London Stadium.
