Bakayoko: Chelsea players see Spurs as bigger rivals than Arsenal

Chelsea ace Tiemoue Bakayoko admits the players rate Tottenham ahead of Arsenal as their greatest rivals.

Bakayoko, a summer arrival from Monaco, made his debut as Chelsea won 2-1 at Wembley in August and still holds the occasion higher than a visit of the Gunners.

"I think that actually in terms of rivalries that Chelsea have, the one with Tottenham is perhaps even bigger than Arsenal," he told the club's official website.

"Having already played that match, being able to win that match, being able to bring so much happiness to our fans was really a wonderful achievement for the team."
