Tiemoue Bakayoko is reportedly set to leave Monaco in the upcoming transfer window, with Chelsea emerging as the front-runners for his signature.
As part of Leonardo Jardim’s incredibly exciting side, Bakayoko has shone at the base of Monaco’s midfield this season.
The energetic powerhouse would seemingly be well-suited to the Premier League, but will hope to have secured a Ligue 1 winners’ medal before any potential move, with his team currently leading the division by three points.
According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea are among the numerous clubs eyeing a transfer this summer.
Fellow Premier League outfits Manchester City and Manchester United are trailing Chelsea in the race, the report claims, while Juventus and Bayern Munich are also interested.
The source suggests that the once-capped France international would be a replacement for Cesc Fabregas, who will be targeted by the new owners of AC Milan, following a bit-part role under Antonio Conte this term.
