Napoli are keeping a close watch on Atalanta midfielder Franck Kessie, who has also attracted interest from Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea.

The 19-year-old Ivorian's future has been the subject of transfer speculation this month as there have been suggestions that a number of clubs are keen to snare him away from Atalanta in January.




Kessie has been in Juventus’ sights for several months, but the Italian champions are facing stiff competition from the Premier League trio of Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea for his signature.

English clubs could well be ready to offer big money to Atalanta for the youngster, but it seems another Italian giant have entered the fray for Kessie ahead of the winter window.
 


According to Italian daily Corriere dello Sport, Napoli are keeping a close eye on the young midfielder and are considering making an offer for him with the January window fast approaching.
