Monaco’s midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko has become the second major signing by League Champions Chelsea for a E40m deal.
He becomes Chelsea’s second major summer signing after they brought in defender Antonio Rudiger from Roma.
The 22- year old Bakayoko was part of the Monaco team that played a semi-final match with Juventus. He would wear the number 14 shirt at Chelsea.
He said; “I am very happy to be here and to join this great team.
“I have grown up watching Chelsea. Signing was the natural thing for me because it is a club I loved very much in my childhood.
“I am now looking forward to evolving under this fantastic coach [Antonio Conte] and alongside so many great team-mates.”
