The France international midfielder is on the verge of
completing a switch to Stamford Bridge, with financial terms having now been
agreed
Tiemoue Bakayoko is
to undergo a medical in London as he finalises a £35.2 million move
to Chelsea, Goal can confirm.
The Monaco midfielder could therefore be a Chelsea player by the
end of the week, with Antonio Conte having identified the 22-year-old as
his main summer target in the midfield area.
Talks between Chelsea, Monaco and Bakayoko have moved slowly but
all parties have finally come to an agreement for the Frenchman, who reached
the semi-finals of the Champions League and won Ligue 1 last season, to
move to Stamford Bridge.
Bakayoko has been enjoying a post-season holiday in New York and
his presence in London is now all that is needed to complete the final
part of the transfer.
Chelsea's move for Bakayoko calls Nemanja Matic's future into
question, however, with Manchester United appearing to be the main club
interested.
