Hi Ed, seen a lot of links with us an Frank Kessie of AC Milan coming out today. Feels like it could be lazy journalism due to his contract running out. Could also be his agent making up stories to put pressure on Milan to offer a better deal. Figured I’d ask anyway, looked like a tank in midfield every time I’ve seen him play, and if he was available for cheap or maybe even free, I’d hope Liverpool’s name would be in that hat. Thanks a lot.
{Ed002's Note - Franck Kessié (CM) Efforts are being made to secure a new contract, but the issue is over the wages continues with Milan struggling. Could potentially be sold but I expect agreement to be reached eventually else there will be a lot of interest with Juventus looking to meet his demands. Interest of Mr Mourinho at Spurs and now Roma remains. Spurs also want him as an Ndombele replacement but the player remains keen to move to Chelsea to eventually replace Kante - but Chelsea turned down the offer from his agent initially although a proposal is on the table that would suit both clubs and the player. His agent has also approached Manchester United and PSG but both sides would need to move a player on in order to add Kessie - but both are interested. His agent has also spoken with Liverpool and Leicester who may be interested in agreeing a pre-contract in January but both have preferred targets. Looking for a huge signing on fee.}

ed002 is Renato Sanches the preferred target?
{Ed002's Note - Bissouma would be first choice still. Gravenberch and others being considered have already been explained.}

Kessie is literally Moussa Sissoko I hope spurs get him or even better united.
{Ed0666's Note - I agree mate I thought he was a worldie but on recent performances he would be a massive mistake imo

Ed002 have the club approached Brighton recently about Bissouma to the best of your knowledge?
{Ed002's Note - I really don't know, sorry.}

I’d stay clear of kessie especially if he’s wanting top wages I think the money is better spent slew here withi. The club.

Have never been that impressed with Kessie. Against us he looked terrible, one paced, tactically inept and couldn’t pass a ball more than five yards.
