This season I don't know, but he is scoring a lot of goals and it seems Milan fans are very happy with him. He is still young but he's been around a while and was generally seen as a mild disappointment before this season. Big things were expected of him, and Milan pulled off quite a coup with signing him, but he was young and expensive. This is his fourth season for Milan and he's only 23, it might be that people were impatient at first and has just needed time to become the player people thought he could be.Anyone know how Kessie’s playing this season? I know Milan are top and he seems a regular for them we’re being linked to him atm I remember we were linked a few years ago. Would he be an upgrade on sissoko?

I never liked the word 'upgrade' for players because it's never that simple. But I would say they are stylistically not exactly the same. Though they have a lot of traits in common. Kessie is a much more attacking, box to box player whose biggest strength is running between the lines, his weaknesses tend to be poor decision making in the final third. He has a real physical presence though. So I guess in many ways he does have some similarity with a younger Sissoko, but I'm not sure how he'd do in that sort of mid-block / low-block stuff that we've seen Sissoko do recently. Though Kessie has played CB before, so maybe he could do that sort of job too. Not sure.
Apparently, he is playing well, but haven't watched him myself. I'm not sure we need him, and he is likely to be expensive (I mean Milan paid 30m euro for him way back when, and suspect they will want a sizable profit), but he's young and talented.

At least you can still call the ref a ****
Serie A leaders AC Milan, who have taken the lead after just SIX SECONDS at Sassuolo.
A new record, of course.
