Tottenham have launched a mission to watch AC Milan duo Franck Kessie and Suso against Atalanta on Saturday (16/02), according to MilanNews.it.
The Italian news outlet claim that the Lilywhites will have someone in attendance to keep tabs on the midfielder and winger during Saturday after watching them already this season, with the clash against Atalanta said to be the second time they are watching Kessie.
It is said that only big offers in the summer will tempt the Milan board to sell either of the duo with them both said to be crucial parts of the team built at the San Siro this season.
Opinion
Some might argue that a winger and a midfielder should not be at the top of Mauricio Pochettino’s shortlist when it comes to new signings but the truth of the matter is that Spurs need reinforcements all over the shop if they are to really hit their potential. This season has stretched the squad to the maximum and while they have dealt with their issues admirably, they could still be fighting in the domestic cups if they had more quality in depth. The same players are featuring week in week out, partly due to form but also due to a lack of other options and that is how you burn out before the end of the season. Kessie and Suso would both be welcome additions in north London and it seems as though they have both been watched carefully by the Lilywhites ahead of a potential summer raid. Saturday’s showing might not determine whether they chase their capture or not, but a good showing would certainly give Tottenham confidence that they could do the business in England.
