Atalanta’s Franck Kessie has started the season in fine form, as the 19-year-old has scored 5 goals in 5 games so far this season. The Ivorian midfielder has been dubbed as the next ‘Yaya Toure’, and is apparently on the wish-list of several European giants.

Kessie’s move to Sunderland fell through this summer due to work permit issues, but he could be soon be given another opportunity to sign for a Premier League club.

Liverpool scouts were present last night (via TMW) at the match between Atalanta and Palermo to take a closer look at the player.

Liverpool, however, could face competition from several top European clubs, including Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Arsenal, if they decide to sign the midfielder in the future.

It’d also be interesting to see if the youngster can carry on his exceptional form throughout the season, and scouts from some of the biggest clubs in Europe will now have him on their books.

No pressure Franck.
