The Chelsea fans in the Transfer Tavern are salivating at the prospect of Tiemoue Bakayoko and N’Golo Kante in midfield.
And that dream could very well become a reality this summer as Chelsea moved to the front of the queue in the race to sign Tiemoue Bakayoko.
The Monaco midfielder is one of the hottest properties in Europe right now with a number of clubs pursuing him.
With Monaco upping the ante in their bid to sign Anderlecht’s Youri Tielemans, they could let Bakayoko leave this summer.
The 22-year-old is also wanted by Manchester United, Manchester City, Juventus and Bayern Munich.
However, Premier League champions elect Chelsea are the front runners in the multiple club chase to sign the France international.

Antonio Conte is ready to wield the axe on Cesc Fabregas and sanction his move to AC Milan, opening up a vacancy for Bakayoko to fill as he eyes a midfield trio of Nemanja Matic, N’Golo Kante and Tiemoue Bakayoko.
Our landlord thinks that Bakayoko has all the natural attributes to make it as a Premier League footballer.
