Cesena president: 'Kessie is like Gattuso but with better feet. Juve and Roma tried to get him'

Cesena president Rino Foschi talked to Gazzetta dello Sport about Milan's new midfielder Franck Kessié, here is what he had to say on the matter: " He has been doing great since he put in a lot of work and he is a serious kid. With Atalanta, he showed that he has a lot of strength. For me he is the African Gattuso. He has a strong character and he tackles well even if he does have better feet than Rino Gattuso.... . Juventus had been after him and Roma were also very close to getting him but Milan acted quicker and did a great move by getting him. He is still very young and he will need a bit of time to adapt to his new team but I am convinced that he will do great at Milan". 

Milan have been acive on the transfer market as they have already signed Mateo Musacchio and Franck Kessié. They are now also close to completing a deal for Wolfsburg's Ricardo Rodriguez and are also after Lazio's Lucas Biglia.
