Tottenham are ready to offer AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie up to an €8 million (£6.9m) per year contract in order to secure his signature in January, according to a report from Calcio Mercato.

Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo needs to bolster his front-line this summer. However, much will depend on what happens with Harry Kane.
