Chelsea flop Bakayoko keen for 'dream' permanent AC Milan switch

Despite a sticky start to life at San Siro the France international has begun to thrive and is hopeful he will be able to remain with the Rossoneri

Tiemoue Bakayoko is hopeful he can help AC Milan qualify for the Champions League this season to help secure a permanent move from Chelsea.

The France international joined Milan on loan at the start of the campaign, with the Italian club also having an option to buy the player for a €35 million (£30.7m/$40.1m) fee.

Bakayoko has enjoyed his time in Serie A so far after struggling to make an impact at Stamford Bridge, making 25 appearances in all competitions for the Rossoneri despite a poor start to life in Italy.
