his switch.
Chelsea have agreed a deal for Tiemoue
Bakayoko
The Blues will pay Monaco £40m for the
French midfielder
Bakayoko has long been on Chelsea’s
wishlist following a barnstorming season
for new Ligue 1 champions Monaco .
The France international played a key
role as Leonardo Jardim’s underdogs
battled their way to the Champions
League semi-finals.
And Bakayoko now looks set to finally
become a Blues player this week after a
fee was agreed between the two clubs.
It’s said Chelsea will shell out a
whopping £40m for Bakayoko, making him
their second-most expensive player of all
time.
The midfielder will now be put through
his paces to make sure there are no
lingering problems after struggling with
a knee injury towards the end of the
last term.
But Chelsea expect a deal to go through
and are sure to be pleased after seeing
off a late threat from Manchester
United.
Bakayoko will undergo his Chelsea medical
on Friday
Antonio Conte will surely be delighted to
get another signing
The Red Devils are believed to have made
a shock play for Bakayoko after
struggling to land Nemanja Matic .
Chelsea are now reluctant to sell the
Serbian to Jose Mourinho after he
hijacked their move for Romelu Lukaku.
And Antonio Conte would have been left
fuming if the Special One pipped him to
another top target.
