Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko's big money move from Monaco has meant a windfall for little Montrouge.

Bakayoko's former youth club Montrouge are buying two minibuses as part of his £40 million move from Monaco.

Montrouge head of youth development Mathieu Laporte coached Bakayoko – and he told The Sun: “We're so pleased because we desperately needed a couple more minibuses to help transport all our various teams.

“We've got more than 1,000 players on our books. We cater for six-year-old's right up to our first team. And we've also got 100 girls too.

“Although we are a part-time team in the seventh tier, our youth system is one of the best in the country and our youth teams compete at national level.

“We have produced players like Demba Ba and Bakayoko – and we want to produce more.

“Having a couple of extra mini-buses will help us enormously because we usually rely heavily on parents and the local council."
