The Milan midfielder is currently set to leave on a free as things stand, with his contract running down next summer amid claims that Tottenham are certainly interested in him. Paratici is reportedly eyeing top players for low fees as he aims to boost Antonio Conte's chances of success at N17.

Now, as per Corriere dello Sport, a fresh update has emerged on Spurs' interest.

The Latest: Kessie handles Spurs offer...

According to their information, relayed by Sport Witness, Kessie has 'attractive proposals' from both Tottenham and Paris-Saint Germain, reportedly a major factor as to why he hasn't agreed a contract extension at the San Siro.

The 25-year-old is demanding €8m (£6.7m) per year while Milan can only offer €6m (£5.07m), with the Lilywhites' offer apparently more enticing. It is also stated that both Spurs and PSG are 'on pole' for his signature.

The Verdict: Get it done...

Thriving further forward under Stefano Pioli last season, scoring 13 goals and four assists in Serie A, Kessie has continued in that vein of form over 2021/22 so far. With five goals across 13 Italian top-flight starts, that's far more than any Spurs midfielder has managed by comparison, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg coming closest (two).

Despite being a natural defensive midfielder, the Ivorian could provide an extra degree of threat through the middle for Conte, and his signing on a pre-contract deal would certainly be a bargain.
