Chelsea Set To Get £40M Star Signing

The blues unfortunately failed to extend their winning run when they met Tottenham - who ended their 13 game streak in the Premier League last night.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is still in the market however, to sign a new midfielder after Oscar left to China. The Italian coach signed Kante last summer and even has Matic in his squad. Still yet, the former Juventus boss are looking to sign a defensive midfielder.

Players like Franck Kessie and Tiemoue Bakayoko have been linked already to Chelsea. The Times reported last month that the Chelsea boss is looking to sign the 22-year-old French international who is rated around £40 million (I.e $49million).


Daily Mail now recently claimed that Chelsea are lining up a bid to sign the Monaco star in the ongoing winter transfer window. They are additionally in talks to sign Franck Kessie but reportedly do not want to pay the asking price of Atlanta - which is 30 million pounds.

It is obvious that the Stamford Bridge club will have to spend big to sign a quality midfielder this month.

Bakayoko, though he's a strong defensive midfielder, might not be better than PL proven DMs like Matic and Kante. He has featured in 26 games for his Ligue 1 side this season and has scored 2 goals.
