Tottenham Hotspurs: 5 Ideal Transfer Targets for Conte in January

2)  Franck Kessie (AC Milan)

Conte’s purchases from his time at Chelsea, as well as two club spells in the Serie A, suggest that that’s the market where he would have extensive knowledge about players and would make up the majority of his transfer list.

The Ivorian, much like Vlahovic above, is running out of contract at the end of this season hence opening up the possibility of a cut-price deal that satisfies all parties.

Kessie has grown from strength to strength during his time at Milan and has shown himself to be an immensely talented and capable box-to-box midfielder able to fulfill a role in a 2 man midfield in a 3-4-3 or in a more forward-thinking midfield role similar to Nico Barella from Conte’s time at Inter in a 3-5-2.

Kessie already has the quality to make the next step in his career but a fresh challenge at Tottenham in the Premier League under one of the best managers in the world could prove tempting.
