Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham on alert as Atalanta midfielder Franck Kessie wants move from Serie A to Premier League

Atalanta star Franck Kessie has reportedly stated he would prefer a move to the Premier League rather than stay in Serie A.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham are thought to be interested in securing the services of the highly-rated Ivory Coast international.

Tuttosport have claimed the 20-year-old, who is one of the most sought-after midfielders in Europe, will turn down opportunities to join Juventus, Napoli and Roma in a bid to move to England.

Reports have also suggested that both Manchester United and Chelsea are willing to pay in excess of £30m to lure Kessie to the Premier League this summer.

The Ivorian was originally thought to be on the verge of agreeing a move to Roma during the January window but the claims were quickly dismissed, paving the way for United, Chelsea and Spurs to make a move.

With six goals, two assists and a string of fine performances in Serie A, the youngster has developed quite the reputation during this current campaign.

His reported fondness of the English top-flight will leave fans of United, Chelsea and Spurs waiting in anticipation to see if he will make a move this summer.
