Chelsea midfielder Bakayoko again declares AC Milan stay hopes

Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko has again declared he wants to stay with AC Milan.

Bakayoko is on a season-long loan at Milan.

He said, "My future? We're waiting for the end of the season.

“I'm under contract with Chelsea, but I'm very happy at Milan and I'd like to continue with them.

“It was difficult at the start, also because of the language. Today things are going much better, both on the field and in everyday life, and I'm very happy.

“As for the future, the objective is to finish in the top four with Milan and have a surprise: a recall to the national team.

“The percentage of our wins has increased, but the whole team deserve credit. We had a difficult start and for me it wasn't easy to adapt to a new team and new surroundings.

“I think I've become an important player and I've tried my best to help Milan get back to where they deserve to be.

“At the start I was only played sparingly and I was judged a bit too soon. When I started playing regularly, I was able to improve my performances. That's what I lacked: continuity."
