According to L’Equipe, 22-year-old midfielder Tiemoué Bakayoko is finally set to take his Chelsea medical, however, other reports claim there are delays which are frustrating Monaco
Monaco are said to be fed-up with Chelsea dithering over the Bakayoko deal and The Daily Mail says Chelsea’s move for Bakayoko has stalled.
Antonio Conte wants to apparently offload Nemanja Matic first, who is reported to join Manchester United this summer.
Jose Mourinho is keen on a reunion with the Serbia international, who he re-signed from Benfica in January 2014, but his decision to gazump Chelsea’s bid for Lukaku means he faces a fight to prise him away from the London giants.
As a result, Chelsea are struggling to complete a deal for Bakayoko with Monaco growing increasingly frustrated.
According to reports from The Sun, the French international’s signing is due to be completed within the next few days, with his unveiling as Antonio Conte’s first signing this summer said to be close.
Bakayoko was an impressive component in Monaco’s run to the Champions League semi-finals last season and their historic Ligue 1 title.
