BAKAYOKO SET FOR AC MILAN

Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko will complete his loan switch to AC Milan on Monday having arrived in Italy, reports Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Frenchman struggled to establish himself at Stamford Bridge last season following a big-money move from Monaco.

He will join the Rossoneri for €5m on loan with an option to buy for a further €35m.

Thanks for the (bad) memories, Baka!

(It's also funny that "baka" in Japanese means idiot/fool.)

40m option to buy..... wouldn't get to excited if he plays the same as he did here, they wont give us 40p for him.

Not sure why we (and Conte) stuck with him so long - board signing?

Not seen a worse midfielder since Alan Dickens

He was Conte's signing. That's why he was starting a lot of games for us as Conte value's running more than technical ability...

Even running he ain't that good in that...doesn't help when conte persists using him despite how awkward and bad he was out there...

Milan deserves a medal for saving me from the nightmare of trying to watch Bakayoko....

If he was a board signing Conte would have ditched him early just like he did with Bats.

Probably right there Tomo -It was clear by December he was struggling but Conte stuck with him for whatever reason. I could not see him developing and he got 30+ games to bed in which in our crazy league is a hell of a chance when you consider the lack of games given to previous players.

A slower paced league like Serie A could really suit Bakayoko and he can really develop well there as the league is more tactical and less physical than the PL, it's easy to say this with hindsight but we really should have signed him on loan with a option to buy considering that he wasn't really a huge name before the 2016-17 season with Monaco, hope he does well and gets his career back on track.

Can't see him showing much in Serie A tbh

Why ?  the football is slower and you have more time on the ball aswell Baka struggle with pace of the PL where you don't get time on the ball

He couldn't even pass the ball most of the time. Playing in a different league won't fix the basics

I worked with a West Ham geezer who said Dickens was brilliant for them FB. After seeing him play me and the Chelsea boys started calling the West Ham bloke Charles because of his Dickens story.
