He has youth on his side. And he could very well go on to become one of Europe’s best.

And Italian journalist Carlo Pellegatti suggested via his official YouTube account that Kessie could join either the Hammers or Wolves for around €25 million (£21.4 million) in January.

In today’s day and age, that would represent excellent value for West Ham.

Central midfield is such an important department in the Premier League. And the addition of someone like Kessie would make the Hammers a far stronger side.

Beating a club like Wolves to his signature will not be an easy task, however.
