Tiemoue Bakayoko is close to becoming a Chelsea player after Chelsea agreed a £40 million fee with AS Monaco for the 22-year-old midfielder.

Bakayoko arrived London last night for his medical and his transfer to Chelsea is expected to be announced in the next 24 hours.

Bakayoko was at Chelsea’s Cobham training ground today and the midfielder posted a picture of Chelsea’s training ground as his transfer nears confirmation.

The midfielder has since deleted the photo.
