Franck Kessie has time and time stated that he is happy at AC Milan but that didn’t stop heavyweight English clubs trying their luck on luring him away from San Siro.
During the January transfer window, Tottenham Hotspur were heavily linked with a move for the 22-year-old midfielder. Italian outlet Il Messaggero reported that Spurs had made a formal approach to sign the Milan midfielder in January.
Kessie joined Milan on a two-year loan deal from Atalanta two years ago that automatically becomes permanent in the summer. It was reported that a fee in the region of £36m would be enough to secure his signature, while other media outlets suggested that Kessie would cost around £50m.
