Agent: Arsenal and Liverpool keep calling me to sign this midfielder

Franck Kessie is a traget for a number of Europe's top clubs

Franck Kessie is having an impressive season with Italian Serie A side Atalanta.

The Ivory coast midfielder has made 25 appearances in all competitions, scoring seven goals and providing four assists.

And the 20-year-old's agent George Atangana has claimed he is attracting interest from a number of Europe's top clubs - including Liverpool and Arsenal.

"I must admit that Roma have the advantage for Kessie, but we haven't closed a deal yet," Atangana told Italian broadcaster Rai Sport.

"Because there are other top clubs interested who continue calling me.

"There are many overseas clubs interested in him. Manchester City, where his friend Yaya Toure plays in the same role.

"Liverpool, where their manager Jurgen Klopp knows how to help young players develop.

"Then there's Arsenal, whose manager is very close to French-speaking players.

"I have to say they are not the only Premier League clubs who are after him, as there are many more too.

"Franck is close to many clubs and close to none."
