Taking to Twitter, Sportitalia TV reporter Rudy Galetti has shared some exciting news involving Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie.

The Lowdown: Spurs chase Kessie...

The Ivorian's contract is winding down at the San Siro and Milan now face the prospect of losing him on a free transfer at the end of this season.

Indeed, Kessie's deal expires in 2022 and that has alerted clubs, including Tottenham, in the race for his signature as Fabio Paratici reportedly eyes a plethora of potential free agents.

The likes of Lorenzo Insigne and Ousmane Dembele are just two big names Spurs are eyeing on pre-contract moves but Galetti has just shared an exciting update on Kessie.

The Latest: Galetti shares exciting news...

According to his information, via social media, Tottenham have now tabled a salary offer to his entourage of around €10 million (£8.4m) per season.

Willing to make Kessie one of Spurs' highest paid players, even more than Son Heung-min (spotrac), Paratici and co have now made their move for the midfielder.

The Verdict: Get it done...

The Milan star would undoubtedly add real quality to Tottenham's midfield and a genuine threat going forward, even despite being a natural defensive midfield player.

He bagged 13 goals and four assists in Serie A last season whilst also attracting praise for being 'invaluable' by manager Stefano Pioli (Forbes).

Kessie has also been branded the jewel in Milan's crown and the fact he already has over half a century of international caps at 24-years-old speaks volumes.

It is clear that the midfield gem would certainly come as an absolute snip for free.
