Arsenal, West Ham United 'show interest in Franck Kessie'

Arsenal and West Ham United have reportedly identified AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie as a potential January signing.

Despite the 23-year-old remaining as a first-team regular at San Siro, Milan are open to a sale this month as they look to strengthen their position with FFP.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have been interested in the Ivory Coast international in the past, only for it to be suggested at the time that the player was not convinced about a move to Molineux.

However, Corriere dello Sport claims that Arsenal and West Ham are contemplating whether to make an official approach in the coming weeks.

The report says that the two London outfits have asked about the availability of Kessie, who will likely cost in the region of £25m.

Kessie has two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract at San Siro.
