Chelsea are encouraging offers from across Europe for Tiémoué Bakayoko.

The Blues have told close intermediaries to begin hawking the midfielder around Europe - with a starting price of €35m.

However, there is a willingness to drop their valuation as manager Frank Lampard has insisted the midfielder is not in his plans.

Bakayoko spent this last abandoned French season on-loan with AS Monaco and is interesting PSG.

Nice coach Patrick Vieira is also a fan and has been told by his board money is available this summer for a major spending spree.
