Chelsea young gun Bertrand Traore set for Ajax loan

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has reportedly approved Bertrand Traore's proposed loan move to Ajax.

The Dutch giants are showing considerable interest in the Blues youngster and it is understood that a season-long loan has been agreed.

Peter Bosz is eager to reunite with the Burkina Faso international at Ajax having seen the 20-year-old flourish under his tutelage at Vitesse Arnhem and De Telegraaf reports that a deal is now set to be complete.

Traore does not feature in Conte's plans for the 2016/17 season, following the arrival of Michy Batshuayi, and will now head back to Holland in a bid to further his development with the Amsterdam powerhouse.
