Chelsea outcast Tiemoue Bakayoko is being linked with a return to AS Monaco.

L'Equipe says Monaco are ready to make a move for the France international this week.

ASM want to take Bakayoko on-loan and are confident Chelsea will do business.

Monaco are hitting the market this week after a dismal 3-0 home defeat to Lyon on the weekend.

Bakayoko left ASM two years ago for Chelsea, where he's failed to establish himself.
