Barcelona midfielder Franck Kessie is set for a shock transfer to Chelsea amid the ongoing January transfer window.

According to the Telegraph, Kessie is on Chelsea’s radar this month.

Kessie left AC Milan last summer to join Barcelona on a free transfer.

The 26-year-old signed a four-year deal with the Catalan club, but he has struggled for consistency.

Chelsea are looking to pick up a midfield addition, and their directors are keen on Kessie joining the west London club.

The Blues, who have already spent around €143 million in this transfer window, will have to battle Inter Milan, who are also interested in the Ivorian.
