Report: AC Milan interested in Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko

AC Milan have reportedly earmarked Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko as a potential transfer target this summer.

The 23-year-old only joined the Blues from Monaco one year ago, but he regularly found himself criticised for some of his performances in his debut season.

As a result, Bakayoko has recently been linked with a departure from Stamford Bridge and, according to reports in Italy, Milan are thought to be interested in the Frenchman's services.

According to esteemed journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Bakayoko is one of two midfielders that the Rossoneri are keen on signing, the other being Diadie Samassekou of Red Bull Salzburg.

Bakayoko made 43 appearances across all competitions for Chelsea last term.
