Chelsea loanee Bakayoko caught up in social media debacle

Chelsea loanee Tiemoue Bakayoko has found himself in hot water over in Milan this weekend.

As reported by Calcio Mercato, the Frenchman has been caught up in a social media debacle following his behaviour after Milan’s victory against Lazio.

Defender Francesco Acerbi had been involved in a running spat with a number of Milan players before the game and in a bid to put an end to the matter, Bakayoko offered to swap shirts with Acerbi after the full-time whistle as a peace offering, at least that’s what it looked like he was doing.

Instead, the midfielder and Ivorian Franck Kessie held it up towards the Milan fans like a trophy, gloating after Milan’s victory.

The act has led to backlash in Italy towards the pair, who have since apologised to Acerbi. Gennaro Gattuso, a manager who has publically voiced his displeasure about social media in the past, has also criticised his players.
