Newcastle and Everton have reportedly joined Napoli in the race to sign AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie this summer.
The midfielder is considering a move away from Milan and has attracted the interest of a host of clubs.
Gennaro Gattuso took over Napoli at the backend of last year and has earmarked Kessie - who he had worked with during his tenure at the San Siro - as a key target.
Napoli had thought about offering Arkadiusz Milik in an exchange deal for Kessie but the forward is desperate to join Juventus instead, leaving the Serie A club struggling to strike a deal.
