Franck Kessie Transfer Odds - January 2022

Tottenham Hotspur leads the way for the signature of Franck Kessie this January who is also out of contract this summer.

Spurs are not in that great of a need for a midfielder as they once were with the addition of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and the rise of Oliver Skipp. However, they greatly lack an attacking talent who can score goals from midfield ever since the departure of Christian Eriksen and the continued lack of decent form from Dele Alli.

What may also give Spurs fans a bit of hope in this signing is the link that Antonio Conte has with Serie A and how over the past few years, he's tended to buy players from Serie A and/or invest and win with such players in Italy. Kessie has spent his entire career in Italy, recently with Milan, but also with Atalanta and Cesena; this is something Conte will no doubt adore.

Given the fact he is out of contract in the summer, it's unlikely we will see Spurs head for them here with their budget clearly not that diverse and generous, and someone of Daniel Levy's history is not likely to splash the cash and simply wait his turn. However, they could well miss out on the transfer by then and the Kessie transfer odds to Spurs sit at 4/1.

Spurs apparently do want the deal this month to ensure they get it, but it all depends on whether or not the board allow it.

If there is ever a club in Europe right now that needs a player like Kessie, it's Manchester United, which was further echoed by his two excellent displays against them in the Europa League last season where he scored and put in fantastic displays across the field in Milan and Manchester.

United's team right now is incredibly topsy-turvy. Raphael Varane has sovled some defensive issues, while Harry Maguire is still worth the time despite his ridiculous price tag, and they also have two more-than-decent options at left-back and right-back, respectively.

The forwards need no further additions, and it, therefore, leaves a massive gap right in the centre for Ralf Rangnick to work with. Fred continues to be amongst the worst signings in recent United history at £52m, as he rarely puts in a display better than a 4/10, and despite having clear excellence in some areas, Scott McTominay is just about as inconsistent as it gets.

Donny van de Beek should have sealed up these problems, but for reasons unbeknownst to everyone, he still can't get in the side two years from signing. Now, after months of reports getting stronger, the Rangnick is seeking the signature of Kessie after it was believed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer really wanted to sign him.

With goals in his game, defensive qualities, and clear physical abilities that would slot easily into the Premier League pace, the Milan star would be a fantastic signing, and the Kessie transfer odds sit at 7/1 to head to Old Trafford.

The final name listed on the Franck Kessie odds list is Arsenal who in reality, are not going to be able to get him despite them sitting g at 7/1 compared to United's 9/1.

Simply put, after splashing out £50m on Thomas Partey a few seasons back, it's unlikely we will be able to see them get this type of cash for a midfielder once again, although come to the summer, should the Gunners have achieved Champions League football for the first time in five years, their budget may well increase if the owners are generous.

At the same time, with an offer of a new contract at title-chasing AC Milan on the table, and with other clubs like Spurs and United interested, Kessie may look elsewhere as Arsenal can't quite convince that many to play for them despite their recent growth under Arteta.

Arsenal have also signed the likes of Sambi Lokanga and seem to be investing heavily and healthily in their incredible youth right now, which all points to an unlikely transfer from Kessie to the Gunners.
