Latest: Man United reach agreement with (another) €40m Chelsea target

Manchester United could be about to snag Tiémoué Bakayoko from under Chelsea’s noses, the Daily Star report.

The Red Devils have already nabbed Romelu Lukaku for £75 million (85m), something which drew Antonio Conte’s ire.

Things haven’t improved for the Blues if the the Star has it right, the Red Devils having already agreed to a 40 million move with Monaco.

The Premier League side needs midfielders to beef up the middle, with Michael Carrick leaving and Ander Herrera only beginning to show his potential.

The combative youngster has developed into one of French football’s most sought-after talents, playing a blinder for AS Monaco this season as the Principality side made it all the way to the Champions League semi-finals, also winning the French championship.

Supposedly part of a huge Chelsea swoop worth £130m, the 22-year-old has already rejected PSG, claiming it would be “a step back”.

How will Antonio Conte take this news, we wonder...
