Tottenham among four clubs fighting for Barcelona star Franck Kessie
According to Spanish publication Sport, Tottenham Hotspur are among the four clubs interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Franck Kessie in the summer.
Juventus has joined the race to sign the Ivorian from FC Barcelona, alongside AC Milan and Inter Milan. While the competition is fierce, Tottenham believes they have a strong chance of landing the talented midfielder.
Kessie is a versatile midfielder who can play both as a defensive midfielder and as a box-to-box midfielder. He has been a standout performer for AC Milan in recent years and has attracted the attention of some of Europe’s top clubs.
Tottenham is no exception, with the club looking to strengthen its midfield options ahead of the new season. The North London club sees Kessie as a perfect fit for their midfield, given his ability to break up play and his prowess going forward.
His presence in midfield would give Tottenham’s attackers more freedom to push forward and create chances, knowing that they have a reliable defensive shield behind them. Kessie is not bad at getting forward either.
Juventus is reportedly looking to let go of Leandro Paredes and sees Kessie as a potential replacement. Kessie has proven to be a bit-part player for Barcelona and he might not see himself as a regular starter even going forward.
Tottenham are no strangers to the transfer market, having made some significant signings in recent years. The club’s recruitment team has been working tirelessly to identify players who can add value to the team, and Kessie is certainly one of them.
Kessie’s physicality, technical ability, and work rate are all qualities that Tottenham values highly in a midfielder. The club believes that he would be an excellent addition to their squad, providing depth and quality to an already talented midfield.
