TIEMOUE BAKAYOKO IS having a medical at AC Milan today ahead of his proposed move from Chelsea.
The 23-year-old attended the Rossoneri’s La Madonnina clinic and is expected to sign a contract with the club once the checks are completed.
The France international will reportedly join on a season-long loan deal, with Milan retaining the option to sign him permanently in 2019 for a fee of €35million.
Bakayoko signed for Chelsea from Monaco last July in a deal worth in the region of €45m, but he struggled badly in his first season in the Premier League.
He made 24 starts in the top flight but only nine of those came after the turn of the year, with the last of his three goals for the club coming against Huddersfield Town in December.
With Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic arriving in the transfer window, Bakayoko has been deemed surplus to requirements by new head coach Maurizio Sarri, and he was not in the squad for the 3-0 win at Huddersfield last Saturday.
However, David Luiz appears more likely to stay at Stamford Bridge after Sarri backed him to play an important role this term.
“I don’t know about what happened in the past but now he has a good chance,” Sarri said of the Brazil defender. “We only have to carry on like we are doing now with him.”

Pele scoring a bicycle kick to equalise for the allies after being 4-0 down and Stallone saving a last minute penalty is the greatest comeback of all time.

@James lee: hilarious comment, gave me a laugh anyway.
@James lee: teams come back from 3-0 down to DRAW every week in football. even Barcelona’s comeback vs PSG was more impressive than that.
Anyway the comments refer to an actual return from a tough place and turbulent times like Tiger over the past 5 years, not a single game. Thought that was pretty clear.
@Brian: is there a European cup final every week?
I’d say the 2016 cavs would disagree with you
His wife tried to ruin him but the Tiger is roaring once again.
@Steven Robinson: She tried to ruin him? He was off with other women while she was pregnant. Couldn’t bring myself to cheer on a dirtbag like that.

Greatest comeback? When he comes back from a double-fracture of the pelvis, a fractured collar bone, a left ankle fracture, a chipped rib, and near-fatal blood clots, then wins 3 more majors, I’ll consider that a comeback.
Can’t look any further than Niki Lauda myself ….
