Chelsea set to finally cash in on unwanted midfielder

 

Chelsea look set to finally cash in on Tiemoue Bakayoko four years after he joined the Blues from Monaco, reports The Daily Star. 

 

Bakayoko moved to Stamford Bridge for around £40m in 2017, but struggled to assert himself in England and has been sent out on loan to AC Milan, former side Monaco and now Napoli. 

 

The French midfielder, though, is enjoying a solid season with the Naples side, who are now looking to make his loan move permanent. 

 

Bakayoko scored his first league goal for the Serie A outfit in a man of the match display against Udinese and Napoli are in pole position to secure his services.

However, there is no guarantee that Napoli will land the midfielder, whose good performances won't have gone unnoticed for the Italian powerhouse. 

 

Napoli started the campaign strongly, but have fallen by the wayside of late, and now sit 10 points off top spot as they look to win just their third Serie A title in their history.
