Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko is set to remain in the Premier League if latest reports are anything to go by.

West Ham are reportedly ahead of AC Milan in the race to sign the Frenchman as the Hammers boss David Moyes is
keen to bolster his central midfield department this summer.

The 25-year-old obviously struggled at Chelsea, but he has been decent in Ligue 1 this term.

Monaco have a €42m option to keep Bakayoko beyond this season, but they seem unlikely to activate it in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

Bakayoko was reported to have offered himself to Milan.

According to a report from Spanish outlet Transfer 20, the Hammers are keen to sign Chelsea man Tiemoue Bakayoko. In fact, they suggest that the east London outfit are in pole position to secure the Frenchman’s signature.

West Ham are ready to sign the 25-year-old permanently, unlike Monaco and AC Milan. And they are also ready to pay Chelsea their asking price for Bakayoko.
