The French powerhouse has been very instrumental for his club Monaco, most especially when they met with Man city winning 3 -1 last week in the Champions league game.
Tiemoue Bakayoko will replace Paul Poagba who suffered a hamstring injury in Manchester League win over Rostov in the friendly match against Spain and Luxembourg

Mourinho was eager to get the 22-year-old in the January transfer but opted to wait for the Summer transfer and now Chelsea have been favored to swoop for the star player.
Chelsea who are the favorite to win this year Premier League will not miss out in the race to get Bakayoko as they intend to strengthen their squad come next season.
