Chelsea ace Bakayoko: No pressure replacing Matic

Chelsea ace Tiemoue Bakayoko insists he feels no pressure replacing Nemanja Matic.

Bakayoko arrived just as Matic was being sold to Manchester United this past summer.

"I don't feel that at all. I did have the chance to see him playing when I first came here and we spoke a lot together, and got on very well. He wished me all the best, just as I wished him all the best at Manchester United," said Bakayoko.

"I have come here to follow my own path, and write my own story."
