Chelsea Close To Signing Star Player Amid Strong Competition

Chelsea finished 10th in the premier league table last season and prior to the beginning of this current campaign, were taunted by rival fans (because they didn’ feature in this season’s Champions League).

However, the introduction of former Juventus manager Antonio Conte changed everything around for good. The West London club are still favorites to win the premier league title this current campaign, and with just four matches to go before the season wrap up, we can confidently say they will be in next season’s Champions League!

Ahead of next season, it is normal that the Italian manager bolster his squad and bring in more quality players. The Stamford Bridge club have been linked with a handful of quality players – one of which is Monaco star player Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Right now, news coming from Italy states that the London club have been locked in talks with both Bakayoko and his French club.

The France international has heaped lots of attention to himself and has become in demand after a series of impressive displays at his Ligue I side this season.

Other clubs including Juventus, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City, are said to be keenly interested in getting the defensive midfielder’s signature. It was however indicated that Chelsea are frontrunners for his signature and a deal is close.

In 60 appearances for Monaco, Bakayoko has scored 3 times only. But his main job is to break opponents attacks, and he has been good at doing that.
