Position: Defensive Midfield
To: Chelsea FC

Transfer Fee: ₤40 Million
Report:
Chelsea have finally done it, they have signed France
midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko for a fee worth 40 Million!
First it was Chelsea, then Manchester United going back and
forth in a tug-of-war to win his signature. The player himself was speculating
with his future by showing admiration for both teams, but in the end Chelsea
have had the last laugh.
Bakayoko seems very happy with his move to Stamford Bridge
and awaits a new chapter with a bright future with the Premier League Champions
Chelsea. He comes as a replacement for Nemanja Matic who is rumored to depart the
club this transfer window.
Bakayoko’s Career Statistics:
- Made an impressive 120 appearances at just 22 years old ✅
- Has scored 6 goals ✅
- An integral part of Monaco’s brilliant central midfield last season alongside Fabinho ✅
- Won the Ligue 1 title ✅
- He made 35 Ligue 1 appearances last season, scoring twice ✅
- He made 10 Champions League appearances ✅
- Helped Monaco reach the semi final stage last season ✅
- Scored his only crucial CL goal against now PL rivals Manchester City ✅
Bakayoko’s defensive dominance:
Great defensive midfield players are always a rock in the
centre. There isn’t any doubt that Bakayoko falls in that category.
He has got
all the qualities to succeed and become the greatest defensive midfielder of
all time. The passing vision he possesses is exceptional. He also has
incredible power and explosive pace to make dynamic box-to-box runs. He is
great at set plays, defensively and offensively. At 22, he looks like the
complete midfielder and the best thing is that he can still improve as the years
go by.
Kante-Bakayoko partnership:
Last season’s Premier League Player of the Year N’golo Kante
is an exceptional talent. Could it get any better?
Yes it has!
This season, there’s going to be a French connection
in the Chelsea midfield. What a combination Kante and Bakayoko would prove to
be. Kante is all about his ball winning attributes, explosive runs and his brilliant
passing range. Bakayoko is a tall and powerful defensive midfielder who can be equally
good in defense and attack. The Chelsea central midfield is all about defensive
power and these two Frenchmen could be their answer and solution for many more
years to come.
Chelsea have got it right once again! They’ve signed a long
term player for their central midfield with a great future potential to transform
into the greatest central midfielder of all time.
All the best to him and future with his new club!!!
