Tiemoue
Bakayoko is undergoing an AC Milan medical ahead of joining the club from
Chelsea on a two-year deal with an option to buy.
Bakayoko was identified by Milan as a summer target back in June when Sky
Sports News reported the Serie A side also wanted Chelsea pair Olivier
Giroud and Hakim Ziyech.
Giroud completed his move to Milan in July, and now Bakayoko - who spent the
2018/19 season on loan at the club - is nearing a return to Italy.
The 27-year-old France international has failed to hold down a place in
Chelsea's first team since arriving from Monaco for £40m in 2017.
He moved to Milan a year after making 29 Premier League appearances for
Chelsea in 2017/18, and he then joined Monaco on loan in 2019/20 and Napoli
a season later.
In total, Bakayoko played 43 times for Chelsea across all competitions,
scoring three goals and registering three assists.
