AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie opened his account at the Tokyo Olympics with a gorgeous goal against Saudi Arabia.

Kessie’s future is in the media headlines at the moment as his contract expires in 2022 and Milan are working hard to renew his deal amid obvious interest from other clubs, but in the meantime the Ivorian is doing the business for his county at the Olympic games.

He received the ball on the edge of the box, turned and fired into the bottom corner emphatically to give his side the lead against Saudi Arabia.
