Bakayoko hoping to seal Chelsea medical this week

Chelsea’s deal for Tiemoue Bakayoko has been hitting a few stumbling blocks in recent times, but the Frenchman is looking to complete his medical at the club in the next week.

That is, according to the Telegraph’s Football News Correspondent, Matt Law, who has stated that the midfielder does not need to undergo any surgery for a minor knee injury.

It was initially reported today that Bakayoko’s deal to Chelsea was stalling based on the assumption that he would miss between eight and ten weeks after undergoing an operation on his knee. This led to claims that the Blues were having second thoughts about landing the Monaco man.

However, it looks as though there are no doubts in either party’s mind that the deal can go through, and Chelsea are still looking poised to secure Bakayoko’s signature this summer. - Read Sport
