Tiemoue Bakayoko is on the verge of joining AC Milan on-loan with an option to buy, according to reports in Italy.
It’d be a shame to see Bakayoko walk out the door without fulfilling his full potential. Chelsea fans were incredibly optimistic when he arrived last summer on the back of a stellar campaign with AS Monaco.
There’s no getting around it, he was utterly dreadful during his debut campaign as a Chelsea player. The club now appeared willing to shift him – and he’s only got himself to blame after failing to adapt.
According to Sky Sport journalist Angelo Mangiante, Bakayoko is ‘very close’ to becoming an AC Milan player. Initially on-loan, but with a view to a permanent deal next summer.
