Report: Spurs ‘very interested in’ midfielder – Decision on his future to be made this summer

Sport have revealed that Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez will only make a decision on Franck Kessie’s future at the end of the season, with Tottenham circling the midfielder.

Despite the fact that Kessie has been getting more minutes under his belt over the last couple of months than he did in the first half of the season, the speculation over his future has intensified over recent weeks.

Fichajes reported last week that the midfielder ‘will almost certainly’ be in the shop window when the transfer window reopens in the summer as he is not in Xavi’s future plans.

The report named Tottenham as the club who have shown ‘the most interest’ in the player and added that the North London club could begin talks with Barcelona over the coming days.

Sport have now also shed light on Spurs’ pursuit of Kessie, stating that the Lilywhites are ‘very interested’ in snapping up the 26-year-old.

The report adds that Antonio Conte is a big fan of the Barca star, knowing the Ivorian well from his time in Serie A.

It is explained that while Kessie is considered ‘transferable’ for the moment, the final decision on the player’s future will only be made by Xavi at the end of the season.

There is no doubt in my mind that Tottenham will explore a deal for Kessie in the summer.

The likelihood is that the 26-year-old will be available for a relatively low price as Barcelona would likely have to make space in their wage bill for their summer transfer targets.
