Chelsea have booked in medical for Tiemoue Bakayoko after Monaco finally accept £40m bid
The Blues have been in tough negotiations for months over the star midfielder, and even faced competition with another late approach from Manchester United who just recently hijacked their Romelu Lukaku deal in similar fashion.
However, according to French radio station RMC, Chelsea have managed to fend off their rivals and wrap up a deal for Bakayoko, who will move to west London in a deal worth a massive £40m.
