Chelsea could be poised to miss out on yet another top target this summer, with their proposed deal to sign Tiemoue Bakayoko stalling.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, the Blues have encountered more complications than initially expected in their pursuit of the Frenchman, and a deal to land him this summer has been left in limbo.
Antonio Conte is stated to be a big admirer of Bakayoko, with the Italian being a fan of his energy and combative style of play.
However, although a deal to sign the Monaco man appeared to be awaiting only confirmation last week, the move is stalling. Manchester United have also been linked with a move for the Frenchman.
Chelsea appear to have already lost out on a key target this summer, with Romelu Lukaku set to complete a switch to Manchester United.
Bakayoko is rated at around £35m by Monaco and the Blues will be keen to push through a move in the near future.
