Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are the two clubs with the keenest interest in Milan star Franck Kessie.

The central midfielder was linked with a move away from Milan this summer, but remained at the San Siro club for now.

According to Italian broadcaster Sportsmediaset, Kessie is admired in London by Chelsea and Spurs.

Since he is out of contract in the summer, he can sign a pre-contract with a potential suitor in January.

If he refuses to renew with Milan, both Spurs and Chelsea are likely to make him significant salary offers at the halfway stage of this campaign, with a view to a summer free transfer move.
