Al-Ahli SFC· Saudi Pro LeagueKessie gewann den italienischen Meistertitel (2022) und den spanischen Meistertitel (2023) sowie den spanischen Supercup (2023). Zudem wurde er 2023 Afrikameister mit der Elfenbeinküste und war in der Saison 2021/22 der beste Torschütze des AC Mailand.
Franck Kessie ist ein ivorischer Mittelfeldspieler, der für seine kraftvolle Spielweise und Torgefährlichkeit bekannt ist. Er begann seine Profikarriere bei Atalanta Bergamo, wechselte dann zum AC Mailand, mit dem er 2022 italienischer Meister wurde. Nach einem Jahr beim FC Barcelona, wo er den spanischen Meistertitel und den Supercup gewann, spielt er nun in der Saudi Pro League.
Kessie ist ein box-to-box-Mittelfeldspieler mit außergewöhnlicher Physis und Ausdauer. Seine Stärken liegen im Zweikampf, der Balleroberung und dem späten Einlaufen in den Strafraum, was ihn zu einem torgefährlichen Mittelfeldspieler macht. Schwächen zeigt er gelegentlich in der Passgenauigkeit und im taktischen Positionsspiel.
