Yesterday’s rumors claimed that the Tottenham Hotspur I was interested in signing Franck Kessie of the AC Milan.
The 23-year-old has emerged as one of the best midfielders in Serie A and his excellent performances are one of the reasons AC Milan currently leads the Italian first division.
The report claimed that Spurs are fighting Arsenal for his signing and both teams were looking to sign him in the January transfer window.
North London rivals could have a hard time getting it now after the last interview with Paolo Maldini at Gazzetta Dello Sport in which he spoke about the midfielder’s desire to stay and achieve things on the Italian side. Which has dispelled the rumors.
Tottenham will have to look for new options
Franck Kessie had problems with his coach, Stefano Pioli, who had fueled rumors that he was leaving, but Maldini’s words seem to indicate that things have been settled and the midfielder now wants to stay in Milan.
The Spurs have some of the best midfielders in the league, and if Kessie decides not to join them, José Mourinho’s team will continue to perform well.
The problem is that the North London team is still looking for a central midfielder who can help in the rotation of names like Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Mousa Sissoko, who have established themselves as central midfielders within the Portuguese formation.
The other options that have sounded in recent days are those of Declan Rice (West Ham) and Sami Khedira (Juventus Turin), who are two interesting options despite the difference in ages and profiles of both players. Kessie is far from leaving Italy and it is time to look for more variants to fight for the title.
