Blues interested in Kessie

Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie next summer.

According to journalist Claudio Raimondi, the Blues passed up on the opportunity to sign the Ivorian this window to try to get him for free next summer.

The midfielder has proven his quality in Serie A and the Italian giants will need some convincing to sell after the departure of Hakan Calhanoglu and Gianluigi Donnarumma this window.

The report states that the Blues are in the front row for the midfielder if he doesn’t sign a new deal.

The 24-year-old appeared 50 times for Milan last season, scoring 14 goals and picking up six assists.
