Paris Saint-Germain 'identify Tiemoue Bakayoko as Tanguy Ndombele alternative'

Paris Saint-Germain will reportedly consider a move for Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko this summer if they are unable to sign Tanguy Ndombele from Tottenham Hotspur.

The French champions are expected to be in the market for a new central midfielder ahead of the 2020-21 campaign and have been linked with Ndombele, who has allegedly refused to play for Spurs boss Jose Mourinho again.

However, according to Le Parisien, PSG are also keeping a close eye on Bakayoko and could move for the France international in the upcoming window.

The 25-year-old has spent each of the last two seasons out on loan, representing AC Milan during the 2018-19 campaign before returning to Monaco, making 23 appearances in his second spell with the club.

Bakayoko is due to return to Chelsea this summer but is allegedly not in Frank Lampard's plans moving forward, leading to a host of speculation surrounding his future.

Newcastle United are also reportedly exploring the possibility of a summer deal.
