# Arsenal: Fans unhappy after links with AC Milan’s Franck Kessie

**Arsenal fans have been displaying their unhappiness after the club were linked with a move for AC Milan’s Franck Kessie.**

It is being reported by Sky Italy [(via The Metro)](https://metro.co.uk/2020/01/16/ac-milan-set-price-arsenal-sign-franck-kessie-january-12071432/) that the Gunners have enquired about a move for the midfielder, however, are unwilling to meet the Italian side’s asking price of €25M (roughly £21.3m). However, the north London giants aren’t the only team interested in a transfer with Premier League rivals [West Ham United](https://metro.co.uk/2020/01/16/ac-milan-set-price-arsenal-sign-franck-kessie-january-12071432/) also said to be looking to sign him.

One fan made it clear that the midfielder doesn’t have sufficient quality.

Kessie hasn’t enjoyed a good season in Serie A having featured in 16 league games as Milan sit in 10th place in the table. And in comparison to Arsenal’s midfielder, [the Ivorian](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/277269/Show/Franck-Kessi%C3%A9) has averaged the same or fewer tackles per game than Mikel Arteta’s trio of [Matteo Guendouzi, Lucas Torreira and Granit Xhaka](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/13/Show/England-Arsenal).

Fans were left feeling less than pleased with the news about Kessie as they took to Twitter to react. Here is a selection of tweets from the Emirates Stadium faithful:
