The London giants were in talks to sign the Monaco midfielder for a while now and it seems that both clubs have reached an agreement.
The 22-year-old has signed a five-year contract at Chelsea and is expected to partner N’Golo Kante at the heart of Chelsea’s midfield next season.
Bakayoko is very highly rated around Europe and is likened to Yaya Toure because of his playing style. The highly talented midfielder will provide some additional defensive cover for his side and help drive them forward as well.
He is quite capable going forward and is a very good reader of the game as well.
