Tiemoue Bakayoko to complete Chelsea medical on Friday after Blues agree £39.7 million deal

Tiemoue Bakayoko will finally undergo the last part of his Chelsea medical on Friday after the Blues agreed a deal worth up to £39.7 million, plus add-ons, with Monaco.

Chelsea have been waiting for over a fortnight to complete the Bakayoko deal because of knee surgery the 22 year-old underwent at the end of last season.

During the intervening period, Monaco became frustrated by the payment structure proposed by Chelsea, who wanted to buy Bakayoko for a £35m flat fee.

But the dispute over the fee has now been resolved after Chelsea agreed to increase their bid and Bakayoko will complete his medical on Friday before officially being announced as a Blues player.

As revealed by Telegraph Sport on Wednesday, Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte fears Bakayoko may not be ready to make his full debut until September.

Bakayoko’s preparations for the new season have been limited while he has recovered from his operation and he is a long way behind the rest of the Chelsea squad.

Chelsea are confident the player will not require further surgery, but he may not be able to go straight into full training which means he could miss the opening three Premier League games  - Burnley, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton.

Conte will decide on Friday whether Bakayoko joins his squad on their pre-season tour of China and Singapore, which they depart for on Monday, or whether he remains in England to work on his fitness at Cobham.

Bakayoko will be Chelsea’s third signing of the summer, following Willy Caballero and Antonio Rudiger. The club are in talks with Real Madrid over right-back Danilo and striker Alvaro Morata, and are also negotiating with Juventus for left-back Alex Sandro.

Bakayoko is a Blue
NEWS SAT 15 JUL 2017



Tiemoue Bakayoko is a Chelsea player having today completed a transfer from Monaco.

Bakayoko, 22, is a tall, strong and quick central midfielder who was instrumental in Monaco’s Ligue 1 triumph last season, as well as their impressive run to the Champions League semi-finals.

He recently made his debut for France in the same line-up as new team-mate N’Golo Kante, and is widely recognised as one of the best young central midfielders in European football.

Bakayoko, who has signed a five-year contract and will wear the No.14 shirt, said: ‘I am very happy to be here and to join this great team. I have grown up watching Chelsea. Signing was the natural thing for me because it is a club I loved very much in my childhood.

‘I am now looking forward to evolving under this fantastic coach and alongside so many great team-mates.’

Technical director Michael Emenalo added: ‘Tiemoue was outstanding as Monaco emerged as one of Europe’s best sides last season and we are delighted to welcome him to Chelsea.

‘Despite his young age he already has plenty of experience as a French title winner and having competed in the latter stages of the Champions League, we believe he will add considerable quality to our squad.’

In possession, Bakayoko typically plays quickly and simply but has the ability to be more expansive if required, and is strong in a one-on-one situation.

His physicality, awareness and timing in the tackle means he is superb at winning the ball back and harassing opponents into mistakes. In a tight central midfield two at Monaco he starred as they unexpectedly beat Paris St-Germain to the title and also reached the last four of the Champions League, knocking out Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund en route. Bakayoko scored the decisive goal in a thrilling two-legged tie against the Premier League side.

Born in Paris, Bakayoko came through the Rennes academy in the north-west of France and made his senior debut in August 2013, a week after his 19th birthday.

He signed for Monaco the following summer and made almost 100 appearances for the principality side during his three seasons there, scoring five goals.
