Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly keen on signing the AC Milan youngster.
According to a report from Sky Italia, Wolves are lining up a £36 million move for AC Milan midfield warrior Franck Kessie, and if Nuno Espirito Santo manages to bring the 21-year-old to Molineux, it could turn out to be a quite simply superb signing for the Black Country outfit.
Wolves already have the technically gifted duo of Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho at the club, and if they added Kessie to their ranks, they could have one of the best midfield trios in the Premier League.
The 23-capped Ivory Coast international is a powerful, ball-winning midfielder, and his tenacious and aggressive playing style seems to be ideally suited to the robust nature of the Premier League.
Kessie is already extensively experienced despite his tender years, having made 129 career appearances, and his impressive energy levels would certainly bring an added level of verve and youthful exuberance to the Wolves setup.
Nuno’s side were mightily impressive last season in the Championship, but they will need to be even better this term in the Premier League, if they are to have any chance of finishing inside the top 10.
Bringing in Kessie for £36 million would be a real statement signing from Wolves, and he would make them a fearsome prospect for this upcoming season.
