Chelsea flop, Tiemoue Bakayoko, joins AC Milan on loan

Tiémoué Bakayoko Chelsea

Chelsea midfielder, Tiemoue Bakayoko, has completed a season-long loan move to AC Milan.

Bakayoko will spend the 2018/19 season on loan at the San Siro in a deal that will include an option to buy next summer.

The 23-year-old joined Chelsea from Monaco for a £40m fee last summer, starting 25 times in the Premier League under Antonio Conte last season.

The France international failed to impress at Stamford Bridge however and has slipped further down the pecking order following the arrival of Mateo Kovacic on loan from Real Madrid.

Bakayoko becomes the latest Chelsea player to leave Stamford Bridge since the closure of the English transfer window, with clubs across Europe free to sign players up until the end of August.

Michy Batshuayi has left the club to join Valencia on loan until the end of the season with Kurt Zouma heading to Everton on Thursday.

Ola Aina meanwhile is also expected to head to Italy to join Torino on loan.
