AS Monaco have this evening announced the return of French midfielder Tiémoué Bakayoko on loan from Chelsea, with a reported €42m option to purchase.
The 25-year-old was not part of Frank Lampard’s plans for the 2019/20 campaign and had been set on a return to the Principality already several weeks ago when it became apparent that Champions’ League playing sides did not have much interest in him at this time.
