The 21-year-old former Cittadella striker can play wide right or left, as well as a centre-forward, and already attracted interest from Milan.
While Piatek hit the headlines with 13 Serie A goals this season, Kouame contributed three goals and four assists.
It’s reported Carlo Ancelotti has given the all-clear to this transfer deal, although Kouame would remain at Genoa on loan until the end of the season.
