Monaco star player Tiemoue Bakayoko has emerged as a target for Chelsea this summer and the premier league champions have been linked with the French star for quite some time.
In a new development, latest reports indicate that Chelsea are now close to getting his signature.
A few months back, Guillem Balague claimed Bakayoko has agreed to personal terms to join Chelsea in the summer.
Popular news outlet L’Equipe revealed that the Stamford Bridge club are close to agreeing on a fee that is worth $45million to sign the France international. New reports has it that Chelsea have reached an agreement with Bakayoko’s club to finally get his signature.
RMCSport’s Mohamed Bouhafsi, taking to twitter, says Chelsea have reached an agreement in principle (worth 40 million euros) with the Ligue I champions to sign Bakayoko.
Also, Daily Mail insists that the west London club have agreed to a fee that is worth 35.2 million pounds ($45million) with Monaco.
Although Antonio Conte already have a strong defensive midfielder in Nemanja Matic, the Italian boss obviously needs a much better option as he prepares for a busy campaign next season.
Matic is already linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, and Bakayoko is expected to partner N’Golo Kante in the middle of the park.
In the just concluded season, Bakayoko featured in 51 games for Monaco and scored 3 goals with one assist.
