Chelsea close to sealing Bakayoko deal

Chelsea are close to completing the signing of France international Tiemoue Bakayoko from Monaco.

The 22-year-old midfielder is among Chelsea’s top transfer targets this summer and is expected to finalise his move in the coming days.[phone][/phone]

Bakayoko joined Monaco from Rennes in 2014 and made his France debut in March.

He is expected to be the first signing of a busy summer at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea keen to bolster their squad after last season’s title triumph clinched a return to the Champions League.
