Arsenal are interested in Ivory Coast midfielder Franck Kessie, who has been dubbed 'the next Yaya Toure'.

The Atalanta man has been scouted by the Gunners with Arsene Wenger still bidding to add some steel to his midfield.

Kessie's agent told Goal: "[Arsenal] were here in Italy to watch him. Arsenal are a good team but there are a lot of teams interested in him so they're not the only possible destination."

The 19-year-old has four senior international appearances to his name and spent last season on loan with Serie B outfit Cesena.
