Blues set to sign Monaco star
Chelsea have reportedly agreed a deal to sign £35million Monaco star Tiemoue Bakayoko.
Manchester United were thought to be winning the race to sign the France international, but it appears Chelsea have jumped ahead of them and will snap him up in the summer.
It is claimed Bakayoko will put pen to paper on a five-year contract with personal terms already agreed.
Bakayoko has scored three goals in all competitions for the Ligue 1 outfit this season and is contracted to the club until 2019. He also scored the goal that effectively knocked Manchester City out of the Champions League not long ago.
