Franck Kessie seems destined to leave AC Milan in January if reports are to be believed, with West Ham United and Wolves supposedly two of his main suitors.
West Ham are in need of midfield competition for Declan Rice with Carlos Sanchez out of favour and his contract slowly running down.
According to MilanLive.it, cited by Sport Witness, Kessie ‘has a future in England’ with the Hammers and Wolves at the front of the queue.
The report claims a ‘goodbye’ is ready for January and he’s ‘on the market’, with Milan said to value the 22-year-old ‘close to €30million’.
He’s made 12 Serie A appearances this season so he’s by no means an outcast at the San Siro.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
West Ham need midfield reinforcements so the interest in Kessie would make sense, especially if he’s available.
Whether the club will splash out the amount Milan want or not at this stage of the season though, I’m not sure.
Kessie is still far off his prime and would be an exciting acquisition, but there could very well be cheaper alternatives.
You wouldn’t find many fans complaining if the Hammers sign the Ivory Coast international either in January or the summer though.
