Chelsea linked with AC Milan star, Tomori may be used as bait

Chelsea have been linked with a move for AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie.

According to ilmilanista.it, new manager Thomas Tuchel is a big admirer of the Ivory Coast international.

The 24-year-old has been a standout performer for Milan in Serie A this season, scoring seven goals and assisting a further three in 21 appearances.

Kessie has emerged as a key figure under Milan boss Stefano Pioli, earning the nickname ‘The President’ due to his influence on the dressing room.

However, his current contract expires in June 2022 and he is yet to agree a new deal with the club.
