French side Paris Saint-Germain have emerged as favourites to sign Atalanta midfielder Franck Kessie, according to reports in France.

The 20-year-old Ivorian is reportedly a key transfer target for Chelsea boss Antonio Conte after his outstanding performances for Atalanta this season.

According to L’Equipe, Paris Saint-Germain are willing to pay Atalanta’s £21.5million valuation of the midfielder.

The report also claims Kessie’s agent, George Atangana is in talks with representatives of PSG and PSG are confident a deal can be agreed.

Should Antonio Conte do all it takes to ensure Kessie signs for Chelsea or do you think we can do without him in Chelsea?
