Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko is a target for AS Monaco, according to the Telegraph.
The Frenchman joined the Blues only last summer from Monaco but has since found life in the Premier League somewhat difficult.
Bakayoko has come under plenty of criticism throughout the course of his first season in English football and has seen his place in the side taken by Cesc Fabregas in recent times.
Chelsea splashed out £39.7m on the signing of Bakayoko from Monaco last summer, with the midfielder having enjoyed a superb season under Leonardo Jardim. Bakayoko was a key man as Monaco clinched the Ligue 1 title.
He has not enjoyed the same fortunes with Chelsea, however, in what has been a testing period for both the player and the club.
It’s stated by the Telegraph that the Blues are unlikely to sanction a deal that sees Bakayoko leave Stamford Bridge despite the midfielder’s struggles this term.
However, Monaco appear to be keen on re-signing their former man as Fabinho continues to be linked with a move away.
