Agent for Fiorentina fullback Kayode admits Premier League interest

Agents for Fiorentina fullback Michael Kayode admit Premier League clubs are following him.

However, they insist the youngster is fully committed to the Viola project.

Andrea Ritorni, who is part of Kayode's management team, told Radio Firenze Viola: "Yes (Premier League teams follow him), but Fiorentina shouldn't worry. There is a contract that speaks for him: Michael is doing well with this club and in this team.

"Of course, various Premier teams follow him and have followed him but this is normal, it's part of football and life. However, Fiorentina has secured him with a nice contract and many bonuses: let's think about doing well now and in the future for the Viola shirt."

He added: "Now I can say, he's 100%: he's fine athletically and mentally. He eliminated two very important players and even managed to score a goal (against Lazio)."
