Tottenham are emerging as favourites to land AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie.

The Ivory Coast international is off contract in June and ducking talks with Milan over a new deal.

Il Giornale says Spurs are favourites to land Kessie as they've been speaking with his management team for months about a move to London.

PSG, Manchester United and Arsenal are also keen, but the groundwork laid by Spurs has them best placed to secure Kessie to a pre-contract.

The prospect of playing for Antonio Conte at Tottenham is also now a major factor for Kessie.
