Chelsea Midfielder Tiémoué Bakayoko Joins Monaco on Season-Long Loan

Chelsea announced on Saturday evening that Tiémoué Bakayoko has rejoined his former side Monaco on a season-long loan.

Bakayoko joined the Blues in 2017, in a deal worth around £40m, but the Frenchman suffered a miserable run of form, and quickly found himself out of the Chelsea side.

The 25-year-old spent last season on loan at Milan, but he returned to Stamford Bridge at the end of the campaign, despite the Italian giants having the option to sign the midfielder permanently.

Chelsea published a tweet on Saturday confirming the loan move to Monaco, and thanked Bakayoko for his efforts in the Chelsea blue.
