Chelsea are close to signing AS Monaco midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.
The Daily Mail says Blues boss Antonio Conte has made it clear he wants Bakayoko, 22, who made his debut for France last month.
The midfielder enjoyed a fine season in the Monaco side that won Ligue 1 and reached the Champions League semi-finals.
Chelsea are now close to signing Bakayoko for £35million.
Conte has been at odds with Chelsea's top brass over summer transfer deals and his text row with Diego Costa, however it seems they have delivered him one of his No 1 targets.
