  • Franck Kessie attracts 'R interest

    19 yr old Ivorian international DM, who can also play CM and CB.

    Southampton and QPR sent scouts to watch impressive youngster in Italy

    Posted by SPORT WITNESS on May 26, 2016 at 7:21 in Sport Witness Football

    English clubs have been actively scouting Serie B this season, with players like Gianluca Lapadula and Samuel Bastien generating a lot of interest. Next on the list is Cesena's Franck Kessie, who is said to be attracting interest from Southampton and Queens Park Rangers, according to Italian journalist Gianluca di Marzio.

    Di Marzio states Southampton and Queens Park Rangers sent scouts to watch Kessie in last night's Serie B playoffs between Cesena and Spezia. The 19-year-old has been in impressive form for the Serie B club this season, and has helped them to qualify for the playoffs.

    Kessie is primarily a defensive midfielder, but can also play as a central defender has already made four appearances for the Ivory Coast national team. Premier League clubs looking toward Serie B for talent will no doubt be an irritant to Serie A clubs, who wouldn't be prepared to match some of the wages and fees clubs English can offer to largely unproven talent.

              Weren't we supposed to built a 'British base' team? Most of the names mentioned are not British at all. Not that I mind if they are good and cheaper.

                  I like that our scouting is going further abroad. Some real talent to be picked up at a cheaper price. This Kessie meant to be the best prospect in serie B
