Official | Tiemoué Bakayoko lands at Chelsea

One of the architects of Monaco's success last season was undoubtedly Tiemoué Bakayoko, a 22-year-old midfielder who established himself as an immovable pillar in Leonardo Jardim's schemes. His imposing physique and technical qualities made him key to the successes of the Monegasque club.

That's why Antonio Conte kept an eye on him from very early on and saw in this player a potential star he could sign this summer. And that's exactly what happened, as the blues have just announced his signing, making him a luxury addition to Chelsea's midfield.

The Frenchman has a great future ahead of him and arrives at one of the strongest teams in Europe, as demonstrated last season. An excellent acquisition that will give Conte more muscle in his midfield, as the Frenchman is expected to form a duo with his compatriot N'Golo Kanté, after this operation estimated at around €45M. He has signed until 2022.
