As mentioned previously, he has helped AC Milan on a title push this season, sitting second in the table. Kessie has featured in every league game available, missing three through injury.
While predominately a holding midfielder, he can play further forward. He played in an attacking midfield role against Empoli, bagging a brace in a 4-2 win for his side last time out.

According to TransferMarkt, the midfielder has a market value of over £40 million, so that would be real shrewd business from Levy and Spurs, bringing him in on a free.
Looking at the stats, he’ll undoubtedly improve Antonio Conte’s options.
