Tiemoué Bakayoko agent warns Monaco 'Man Utd, Stoke, Leicester and WBA' all want him

The agent of Tiemoué Bakayoko has revealed major Premier League interest in the AS Monaco midfielder.

The youngster joined ASM from Stade de Reims two years ago, but is only making his mark this season.

Agent Michel Boli revealed to L'Equipe: "Juventus saw him play three times this summer. There is also Manchester United interest, West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City.

"Leicester enquired recently. Tiémoué's priority is to stay in Monaco. A month ago (vice-president) Vadim Vasilyev received me with the brother of the player. As Tiémoué was not holder in the warm-up matches, they wanted to know what the club had planned for him.

"Vasilyev said he was very happy with him and it was out of the question he leaves. But now he must make a contract extension offer (ending in 2019), as he had promised us this time because we can not remain waiting. Our goal is not to put pressure on Monaco, but at some point we will have to listen to other clubs."
