Tiemoue Bakayoko joins AC Milan

Chelsea midfielder, Tiemoue Bakayoko, has completed a season long loan move to Italian giants AC Milan, with the deal also including a €35m purchase option.

“AC Milan are pleased to announce the signing of French midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko from Chelsea FC,” reads a statement on AC Milan’s official website.

“The 23 year-old joins the club on a loan deal with an option to make the move permanent.

“Born 17th August 1994 in Paris, Bakayoko’s career started in his native France with Rennes before taking him to Monaco and Chelsea.

“The midfielder has two major honours to his name, winning the league title in 2017 with Monaco and then the FA Cup with Chelsea the year after.

“Bakayoko will be unveiled to the media in a press conference on Friday August 17th.”

Chelsea signed the Frenchman from AS Monaco for £40m in the summer of 2017, but his time in England was not a fruitful one and thus he was sent out on loan by the new manager Maurizio Sarri.
