Here are 2 AFCON stars for Chelsea to watch out for

Franck Kessie

He is one of the brightest talents in Italian football at present, and Franck Kessie may well be making a move to the Premier League in the near future.

The 19-year-old midfielder has flourished in his first full season in Serie A, netting five times in 14 games for Atalanta, the latest of which coming in their 2-1 win over Roma on November 20.

The Ivorian international has also been a key figure in the national team in recent months, and could well be key to their African Cup of Nations chances when the tournament starts in January.

Unsurprisingly, Kessie’s excellent form and seamless transition into the top tier of Italian football has alerted numerous clubs around Europe, including Juventus, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool.

Recent reports suggest that it is Juventus who are in pole position to land the midfielder, but Conte knows that Chelsea have the appeal and the financial capabilities to encourage Kessie to move to Stamford Bridge.
