Thomas Tuchel is reportedly a big fan of Franck Kessie and "dreams" of bringing the AC Milan midfielder to Chelsea.

German coach Tuchel has made a strong start to life at Stamford Bridge after replacing Frank Lampard last month, winning five and drawing one of his first six games.

Chelsea still have plenty to play for this season, but focus is already turning towards the summer transfer window.

Il Milanista suggests that Kessie could be among Tuchel's targets ahead of next season as the ex-Paris Saint-Germain boss is keen to work with the Ivorian.

The 24-year-old is valued at €40m (£34.77m) by the Rossoneri, but Chelsea could use Fikayo Tomori - sent on loan to San Siro last month - as a bargaining chip in any deal.

Kessie has been used 31 times in all competitions this season and has 16 months to run on his existing contract.
