It appears Monaco star player Tiemoue Bakayoko will be playing in the premier league next season after all…
According to new reports, premier league champions Chelsea are set to announce his signing in the next 48 hours.
The defensive midfielder has been heavily linked with a summer switch to the English top flight with Manchester United also understood to be serious suitors.
However, the Daily Express insisted the blues have won the race to sign the France international in a £36.7million deal.
The 22-year-old shot to prominence in the just concluded season as he helped his French club win the Ligue 1 title and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is keen on securing more midfield options this summer ahead of a busy campaign next season. Tiemoue would represent a massive addition in his squad and the Frenchman is ready to arrive London this week and undergo a medical.
He has reportedly agreed a five-year deal and will become one of the signings of the summer when the announcement is eventually made.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is said to have the confidence that the France international is the perfect man to compliment N’Golo Kante and the manager sees Bakayoko as the missing piece to his midfield.
