Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Monaco and French midfielder
Bakayoko. The 22 year old joins for a fee of 35m.
A tenacious and athletic presence in the middle of the park. He was
one of several key players that were instrumental in Monaco's league
title triumph last season. As well as their fairy tale run to the semi
finals of the champions league.
He becomes Chelsea's second major signing of the summer following the
arrival of German international defender Antonio Rudiger from Roma
With his capture, the status of Serbia international Matic should
become clear soon. The two time premier league winner has been linked
with a move to Manchester United. He was left behind in London
alongside Diego Costa as Chelsea proceeded to their pre-season tour of
Asia. The former is no longer part of Antonio Conte's plans. He is
expected to join Athletico Madrid in spite of their transfer ban.
Chelsea are also keen on signing a replacement for Diego Costa. And
after missing out on Lukaku, Dortmund and Gabon striker Aubameyang is
now reported to be the club's prime target.
Further on Babayoko, he would bring more mobility to Chelsea's
midfield alongside the tireless Kante as Conte continues to reshape
his side ahead of the new season.
