Franck Kessie is a transfer target for Arsenal and he is now available to leave AC Milan.
The Ivorian midfielder is one of their best players and he helped them earn their return to Champions League football at the end of last season.
However, they have been unable to tie him down to a new contract with under a year left on his current deal.
Gazzetta dello Sport reported earlier that Arsenal is leading the race for him as they chase new players.
The Gunners are still in the market for midfielders and he remains one of the players that they want to sign.
Todofichajes says AC Milan isn’t willing to accept his demands of 6m euros per season to sign a new contract.
Because of that, they are now keen to get rid of him and are listening to offers for his signature at the moment.
Kessie is one of the finest midfielders in Italy and he could add serious quality to the current Arsenal team if he joins them.
He is not the only midfielder they are targeting, but he might be a better option to Houssem Aouar.
Adding him and James Maddison to the current Arsenal midfield will make the Gunners a delightful team to watch.
What about African Cup of Nations
I don’t believe it, but it would be a huge transfer. Kessie is a phenomenal player. A giant of a man with huge strength, a great engine and good skills. Whilst he can’t be called an AM to replace Aouar if he was centre mf with Partey we would totally boss games. When originally mentioned the rumoured price was below value at £30+ m as milan need to sell. 24yo. Downsides he’s Ivorian and wants £120k plus wages – not a dealbreaker for us though. Klassie is pure class.
sorry meant to type Kessie is clessy, so fell a little flat.
Now were talking.
Watched him over the 2 legs v manure in the “champions League”
Awesome, particularly the first leg.
If he attains anywhere near the 1st leg standard above most weeks, what an addition this would be.
Somehow doubt it – unfortunately.
Admin 😂 is having a laugh with these headlines. Did we ever want this player ? Not sure if he will improve us.
Did we ever try for him? No. Would we get him if we did? Probably not. Would he improve the team? Yes, have to argue with you there AW. Or perhaps you have an optimistically high estimation of our curent central midfield personnel – just check out You Tube.
Would Frank Kessie improve our current spine in the middle of the park – er, let me think for a
milli-second !
I guess kessie is huge and classy ,good for English football ,bring him home
Reminds me of another player who haggled over a contract extension at his previous club, traded Champions League football for Europa League football with Arsenal with the dream of lifting the Champions League trophy within three seasons at Arsenal.
Let’s “ALMOST” double, or even triple, his current wages for playing exclusively in domestic competitions this season. It’s been ages since we’ve had players with real CHARACTER. Let’s bring him in, no matter how much it costs us.
If only I could dream… but stranger things have happened at sea.🌊
Sorry 😞 Arsenal, Milan will renew Kessie contract as soon as he return back from Olympic. We’re not going to sell Milan best midfielder for now.
A great player, Arsenal must get him if they can. Pure class.
