Chelsea £35m target undergoes a medical with the Blues

Chelsea £35m target undergoes a medical with the Blues

Tiemoue Bakayoko is currently undergoing a medical with Chelsea, according to the Daily Mirror via Sports Keeda.

The 22-year-old Monaco midfielder has been linked with the reigning Premier League champions for some time, but now it seems like the transfer is also complete, with the Frenchman having already had his medical with the side, in secret. All that the needs wrapping up now are certain finalisations and red tape.

The player, it is thought, will be announced as a Blues player along with the unveiling of their new Nike sponsored kit.

Bakayoko made a whopping 51 appearances for the Stade Louis II side, helping them reach the Champions League semi-final – eventually getting knocked out by the competition’s runners-up Juventus – and also being a fundamental cog to the wheel that won the French League.

Going the other way could be Nemanja Matic, who is set to re-join Man United boss Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford. This transfer, like a lot of current dealings on the table at Monaco, could open the door to several transfers, yet the Bakayoko one looks set in stone.
