Monaco midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko met Arsene Wenger in
November to talk about a possible move to Arsenal and turned him down,
according to France football.
It now looks likely that the 22-year-old – called up by
France for the first time this week – will join Chelsea this summer,
with Antonio Conte said to be desperate to partner him with N’Golo Kante
in a frightening midfield.
There were reports in Italy that a £35m deal had been agreed
between Chelsea and Monaco but France Football – who should know better
– have said that Monaco will insist on at least £50m.
What is clear is that his ambitions stretch further than
Arsenal, with the publication claiming that Wenger met him in a Parisian
hotel but failed to convince him that his future lies at the Emirates.
