Tottenham Hotspur face Franck Kessie competition
Spurs have already been active in the transfer market. However, they are still looking to bolster their midfield options. Franck Kessie, currently at Al-Ahli, has emerged as a potential target. He was previously a key target for Antonio Conte.
Kessie joined Al-Ahli after a spell with Barcelona. Prior to that, he established himself as a top player at AC Milan. Tottenham’s interest in Kessie dates back to 2022 and early 2023. However, a move never materialized.
Now, the situation has changed. Fabrizio Romano reports that Al-Ahli are open to Kessie’s departure. A suitable offer could see him leave the Saudi Pro League. Fiorentina have already expressed interest, and other clubs are also in the mix.
Former Tottenham target available for transfer
Fulham are also reportedly interested in Kessie. The Ivorian international enjoyed a successful spell in Serie A. He possesses a range of qualities, including technical ability, physicality, and defensive awareness.
Former AC Milan coach Vincenzo Montella praised Kessie’s “sublime intelligence.” Antonio Cassano compared him to a young Yaya Toure. He highlighted Kessie’s impact on Milan’s midfield.
Midfield reinforcements key for Premier League club
