Transfer Alert: Chelsea Make £21.3m bid For Serie A Superstar

Chelsea have made a massive £21.3m bid for Serie A youngster Franck Kessie, according to reports in France.

The 20-year old has impressed with his performances in Atlanta jersey as he scored six goals in 16 league appearances this season which saw Atlanta climb to the sixth position in the Italian Serie A.

The Ivorian midfielder has broken into the first team at Atlanta and has been one of their star players with his stellar performances of late. His impressive outings meant a host of clubs across Europe are interested in making a swoop for him.

According to France Football, Chelsea are the favourites to sign the midfielder as Conte is ready to bring him to the Premier League. However, it will not be easy for the Blues to land the talented youngster as Italian champions Juventus are also interested in signing him.

Premier League rivals Manchester United and Arsenal are also keen on the player as Jose Mourinho have also spoken to the player on phone in November this year.

Chelsea are ready to sign him in January despite the player will be featuring for Ivory Coast in the African Cup of Nations and will miss a great part of January action. With the amount of quality in their midfield, Chelsea are ready to fill his absence.

Kessie is contracted with the Italian outfit till 2021 and Atlanta are not keen on selling him despite increasing interest from a number of clubs across Europe. Atlanta are willing to reject any offer for the midfielder and it remains to be seen whether the Blues can make a successful transfer or go down in another disappointing transfer saga which has been their story all through the summer.

Atlanta will only look to an offer close to €40m (£34m) to sell their prized asset despite the lucrative offer made by the Blues.
