Transfer News: Chelsea accept deal for defensive midfielder to join Napoli

Chelsea have accepted deal with Napoli for the £17.95m offer of midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, as indicated by a report.

Tiemoue Bakayoko battled to establish a connection in his first season at Stamford Bridge in 2017-18 and has spent the three seasons away on loan.

Following spells with AC Milan and Monaco, the Frenchman presently ends up at Stadio San Paolo, where he is working under ex-Milan manager Gennaro Gattuso.

Napoli paid £1.8m to take the 26-year-old on loan for the season, and Ivisionsport guarantees that a game plan is as of now set for a permanent move the following summer.

The France international has played a total number of six times for Napoli in all competitions so far this term, assisting one goal and failed to register a goal.
