Chelsea are favourites to land AS Monaco midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.

L'Equipe says the 22-year-old's displays have attracted a host of suitors across Europe, with Manchester United amongst those chasing his signature.

But Chelsea are in pole position for the midfielder's signature.

Blues boss Antonio Conte wants Bakayoko to link up with N'Golo Kante in his midfield.

Monaco have agreed to let the France international leave this summer to avoid losing him on a free next year.
