Kessie is sure to cost a fair amount due to the strong competition, but at the moment he looks set to stay in Serie A.
Kessie is believed to be a target for Man Utd, Chelsea and ArsenalGetty Images
Agent George Atangana admitted that Luciano Spalletti’s Roma are in pole position right now, but nothing has been agreed and things could change at any moment.
He told Rai Sports: “Franck is close to many clubs and close to none. I must admit that Roma have the advantage for Kessie, but we haven’t closed a deal yet because there are other top clubs interested who continue to call me.
“There are very few clubs who can afford him though. I can confirm he’s a good lad, honest and humble. He was brought up well.

“I can’t say how much he is worth, because that is down to Atalanta. I can only say he is a complete player and everywhere you put him, he can do that role.
“There are many overseas clubs interested in him. Manchester City, where his friend Yaya Toure plays in the same role. Liverpool, where their manager Jurgen Klopp knows how to help young players develop.
“Then there’s Arsenal, whose manager is very close to French-speaking players. I have to say they are not the only Premier League clubs who are after him, as there are many more too.”
