Taking to Twitter, journalist Rudy Galetti of Sportitalia TV has made an interesting claim involving AC Milan star Franck Kessie, Tottenham Hotspur and the Rossoneri's owner.

The Lowdown: Spurs target Kessie...

As widely reported, Milan's star midfield man has been a transfer target for the Lilywhites and some sources even claimed that they were weighing an offer to sign him as early as last month.

This was despite Kessie's soon-to-be free agent status as his deal at the San Siro looks set to expire later this year, but that isn't due to Milan's lack of trying to agree an extension.

They've apparently offered fresh terms but the Ivory Coast international hasn't put pen to paper, leaving his long term future with the Serie A giants in major doubt.

Now, Galetti has said that the Milan management are fuming with Kessie as he makes a claim involving Tottenham.

The Latest: Galetti makes Kessie claim...

Taking to Twitter, the Italian reporter says that Milan's owner, president of Elliot Management and American business tycoon Paul Singer, is angry with Kessie after he 'refused' an offer to join Tottenham last month.

Indeed, it is believed that he 'did not like' the star's decision considering his exit to north London would've resulted in profit for Milan off his sale.

Following this development it is claimed by Galetti that 'no further renewal proposals' are on the table.

The Verdict: Interesting...

While this may seem like Spurs missed out on yet another top target after seeing moves for both Luis Diaz and Adama Traore hijacked, this could eventually come as a boost for the Lilywhites.

As Milan allegedly make the call not to offer any more extensions, he now looks set to leave at the end of this campaign on a free and Spurs would be remiss not to take full advantage.

Bypassing the £43.2 million-valued star's estimated would-be transfer cost and snapping him up for nothing is a no-brainer, especially considering his brilliant 19-goal haul from midfield since the start of 2019/2020.
